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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Drew Allar, Round 3, Pick 24, roughly 35 picks past where he belonged.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The cost of the Monheim reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks slid further than he should have, and the 24th overall pick is lovely value for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick56 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Barrett Carter at pick No. 56. It fills a real need, too.
Pick88 Rnd3 Drew Allar
They will replay Drew Allar at the 88th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
They paid up for Jonah Monheim at pick 120 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick155 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in slot 155 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216 Rnd7 Mason Taylor
A quiet steal in Round 7, Pick 24: Mason Taylor for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
