Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Texans fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Texans were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Landing Royals that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick58 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
They read the board right and Kaleb Johnson was the payoff at the 58th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
They let Jalen Royals come to them and pounced at pick No. 79. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 25 with a little surplus value in Ozzy Trapilo. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick236 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at slot 236 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
Fair-plus on Desmond Watson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
