Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in slot 236 lands the Texans a B-, Marks and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Woody Marks slide 43 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Thornton Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 25 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, outstanding value to boot.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They paid sticker price for Donovan Jackson in the 58th pick, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in the 79th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Jared Wilson at Round 4, Pick 1 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Emery Jones Jr. at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick166 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A reach for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 166; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A slide stopped in No. 167, with Bhayshul Tuten worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Woody Marks
They will replay Woody Marks at pick No. 236 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 241 with a little surplus value in Dante Trader Jr.. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
