Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Hayden Conner; the Texans did not wait, grabbing him 31 spots ahead at No. 236.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In pick 25 they get a lead back with juice. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in the 58th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
No drama and no debate, Ozzy Trapilo went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Nothing to complain about; Deone Walker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in the 166th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick236 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at slot 236 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
Fair-plus on Jabbar Muhammad, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
