Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Jones Jr.: B.

The board owed the Texans one, and it paid up: Emery Jones Jr., the No. 144 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 5 slot like a gift left on the doorstep.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 25th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line, outstanding value to boot.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
A quiet steal in pick No. 79: Jalen Royals for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick101 Rnd3 Tai Felton
No edge and no loss on Tai Felton in No. 101; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in the 166th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue at pick 190 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A reasonable price with a little left over, Oronde Gadsden II in slot 202. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick236 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
No drama and no debate, Cam Jackson went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 20. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 241 with a little surplus value in Jermari Harris. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
