Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Ott: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Jaydn Ott slide 74 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The Hancock reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Harold Perkins Jr.
In pick 24 they get the heartbeat of the defense, and a steal at that.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant is a better player than Round 2, Pick 9 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the 88th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick120 Rnd4 Aireontae Ersery
They paid sticker price for Aireontae Ersery in slot 120, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaydn Ott
They robbed the room for Jaydn Ott here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
A conviction pick on Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 216 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
