Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureC+
Good, not great, for the Texans: B.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Texans left edge rusher untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.

That Alexander pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Colston Loveland at slot 37. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in pick 58 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A quiet steal in No. 68: Jayden Higgins for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
A slide stopped in pick No. 79, with Cameron Williams worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick108 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They read the board right and Darius Alexander was the payoff at the 108th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
Value with a capital V on Luke Kandra in Round 5, Pick 28, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick236 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie slid further than he should have, and the 236th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick241 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah slipping to pick No. 241 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
