Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Marks fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Woody Marks, pick No. 243, roughly 59 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at the 58th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
They will replay Aireontae Ersery at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malachi Moore in the 127th pick, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick168 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Somehow Nick Nash was still sitting there in slot 168, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick243 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Taking Woody Marks in pick 243 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
