Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Texans.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Texans would have aced it. Logan Brown at the Round 4 slot is 35 spots clear of where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 30th overall pick they get a green-dot type in the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
No drama and no debate, Donovan Jackson went about where he belonged in pick 58. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at slot 79 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They jumped the gun on Cam Skattebo, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109 Rnd4 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at No. 109 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at Round 5, Pick 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Fair-plus on Chase Lundt, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaac TeSlaa. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They paid sticker price for Teddye Buchanan in pick 241, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
