Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesC FutureB-
The Texans land in the muddy middle: C+.

Nobody else had Gino Garcia anywhere near No. 236. The Texans did, by 56 spots, and that gap is the whole story. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

The Royals pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In slot 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in Round 2, Pick 26 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
They will replay Jalen Royals at the 89th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
They took Hollin Pierce at par in the 129th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick166 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Somehow Logan Brown was still sitting there in pick No. 166, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at No. 203 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick236 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gino Garcia this early at the 236th overall pick. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick241 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They reached a country mile for Garrett Dellinger at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
