Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Texans.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Texans took Micah Morris at slot 165, roughly 83 spots before his name belonged. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Price.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
A reasonable price with a little left over, Olaivavega Ioane in No. 38. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick40 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
They paid a round early for Gennings Dunker in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick59 Rnd2 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. in Round 2, Pick 27 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zakee Wheatley. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price is a better player than pick 74 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in the 106th pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They paid sticker price for DeMonte Capehart in No. 128, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165 Rnd5 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at the 165th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick176 Rnd5 J. Michael Sturdivant
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for J. Michael Sturdivant. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick243 Rnd7 Noah Thomas
Noah Thomas at the 243rd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Haynes King
Fair-plus on Haynes King, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
