Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Earnest Greene III slide 29 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Gadsden II reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Denzel Burke
In the 24th overall pick they get an island corner at fair value.
Pick41 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
They took Mykel Williams at par in pick 41, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick56 Rnd2 Andrew Mukuba
They went early on Andrew Mukuba in pick 56, and the value did not follow. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Earnest Greene III
Circle this one: Earnest Greene III at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard at the 120th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick155 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
A real head-scratcher, Alfred Collins in pick No. 155 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
A wild overpay on Oronde Gadsden II in slot 216, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
