Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Judkins fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Quinshon Judkins had no business being available in pick 89, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick 25 they get a disruptor off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jaylin Noel
No drama and no debate, Jaylin Noel went about where he belonged in the 63rd overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick79 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at slot 79 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Somehow Quinshon Judkins was still sitting there in No. 89, and they pounced on premier running back value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They paid sticker price for Jake Majors in pick No. 133, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166 Rnd5 Nick Nash
The board had Nick Nash higher than the Round 5 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in Round 7, Pick 20 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Ja'Quinden Jackson is a better player than the 241st pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
