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

The Jackson Hawes selection is the head-turner. The Texans reached 60 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Golden pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes. Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In slot 25 they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson slipping to pick No. 58 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at pick 90 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the 97th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
They jumped the gun on Pat Bryant, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
A premium they did not need to pay, Jonah Monheim a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jackson Hawes
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jackson Hawes this early at pick No. 201. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
No drama and no debate, Jermari Harris went about where he belonged in No. 236. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
They paid sticker price for Cam Horsley in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
