Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Marshall Jr.: B.

Call it larceny. Jason Marshall Jr. sat on the board until Round 7, Pick 25, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick No. 25 they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A tidy bit of business in slot 58, where Jonah Savaiinaea graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at Round 3, Pick 15 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They did well to land Ozzy Trapilo in pick 89, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ricky White III
The board had Ricky White III higher than the 236th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at the 241st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
