Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Texans fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Texans, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. That is an interior defensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In pick No. 24 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
No edge and no loss on Barrett Carter in Round 2, Pick 9; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse is a better player than the 103rd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at pick 120 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 Dane Key
Dane Key in slot 155 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd7 Jonathan Mendoza
They did well to land Jonathan Mendoza in the 216th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
