Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Castro fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Sebastian Castro sat on the board until No. 120, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Harold Perkins Jr.
In pick No. 24 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer in No. 41 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at slot 56 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Earnest Greene III
They robbed the room for Earnest Greene III here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in the 120th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick155 Rnd5 Tonka Hemingway
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick216 Rnd7 Preston Stone
Preston Stone slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 24 is lovely value for the quarterback. A need, and now a little less of one.
