Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Texans bet big and early on Elijhah Badger, 56 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Williams pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at slot 33 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the 58th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Tai Felton
A big swing on Tai Felton at Round 3, Pick 15, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Nothing to complain about; Ozzy Trapilo went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at No. 94 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DJ Giddens. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick236 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
A wild overpay on Elijhah Badger in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler in the 241st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
