Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Texans turned the phones into found money: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Texans fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Kevin Dotson deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick No. 25 they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick79 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
They took Mason Taylor at par in the 79th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tai Felton
By-the-book stuff, Tai Felton at slot 98 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick116 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Emery Jones Jr.. It fills a real need, too.
Pick166 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They let Bhayshul Tuten come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 28. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
A tidy bit of business in the Round 7 slot, where Akili Arnold graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley in the 241st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick253 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A straight-up fair deal on Teddye Buchanan at pick 253, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
