Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Oronde Gadsden II, 31 picks early at the Round 5 slot. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is McMillan. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at pick No. 58 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tai Felton
They liked Tai Felton enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 89. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in slot 90 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Anthony Belton at No. 127. It fills a real need, too.
Pick166 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oronde Gadsden II well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick236 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Desmond Watson. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams in pick No. 241 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
