Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA- FutureC+
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on McMillan: B.

The board owed the Texans one, and it paid up: Tetairoa McMillan, the No. 10 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 1 slot like a gift left on the doorstep.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They are betting Jackson proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In No. 30 they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Donovan Jackson at slot 56, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Taking Kaleb Johnson in Round 3, Pick 2 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at pick No. 79 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Good price on Deone Walker in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
The board had Mason Taylor higher than the 95th pick, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jalen Rivers
A clean, defensible pick in pick 166 with a little surplus value in Jalen Rivers. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Craig Woodson in the 236th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick241 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
A quiet steal in pick No. 241: Phil Mafah for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick251 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bilhal Kone at pick 251 is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
