Draft Grade — Texans
Overall A-
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC+
Larceny in Round 7, Pick 28 lands the Texans a A-, McCoy and all.

The board owed the Texans one, and it paid up: Jermod McCoy, the No. 10 name on the board, sitting there at the 244th pick like a gift left on the doorstep. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
Jeremiyah Love in the 28th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick38 Rnd2 Spencer Fano
The board fumbled Spencer Fano all the way to Round 2, Pick 6, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jordyn Tyson
Circle this one: Jordyn Tyson at pick No. 63 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kenyon Sadiq
Somehow Kenyon Sadiq was still sitting there in No. 106, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald at pick 108 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis in slot 128 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
A linebacker of that caliber at the 165th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Kaytron Allen
Taking Kaytron Allen in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jermod McCoy
They robbed the room for Jermod McCoy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick249 Rnd7 Connor Lew
Steal is underselling it; Connor Lew at the 249th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick252 Rnd7 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at pick 252 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
