Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Fields from sliding. Grade: B.

The Texans did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Malachi Fields fell into pick No. 110.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick41 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen slipping to No. 41 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick43 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick66 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
Nice patience on Chase Bisontis, who had no business lasting to the 66th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at pick 69 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Christen Miller
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Christen Miller in slot 76. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
No edge and no loss on Mike Washington Jr. in Round 3, Pick 13; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday in the 85th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Connor Lew
They let Connor Lew come to them and pounced at pick No. 101. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110 Rnd4 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jakobe Thomas
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jakobe Thomas. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
