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

The Texans' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it. The bottom line is a respectable B.

However the rest shakes out, Johnson at that price is a win they earned. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 39th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kaleb Johnson in the Round 2 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
The board had Jayden Higgins higher than No. 67, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at Round 3, Pick 8 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
A reasonable price with a little left over, Elijah Arroyo in pick No. 79. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Nothing to complain about; Ozzy Trapilo went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
No drama and no debate, Kyle Williams went about where he belonged in pick 166. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
A tidy little value on Bilhal Kone in slot 236, a step better than break-even. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick241 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
Fair-plus on Dante Trader Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
