Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Horton from sliding. Grade: B.

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Tory Horton, the No. 109 name on the board, in the 166th pick.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If Fairchild pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In No. 25 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
A clean, defensible pick in slot 58 with a little surplus value in Marcus Mbow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick79 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They went early on Charles Grant in the 79th pick, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at Round 3, Pick 25 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in pick No. 166 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in the 236th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
