Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Texans: B-.

The Texans torched the value chart for Addison West, taking him 28 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 1 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the 25th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow in the 58th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jake Majors
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jake Majors well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
They talked themselves into Luke Kandra at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166 Rnd5 Addison West
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Addison West. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Clay Webb
By-the-book stuff, Clay Webb at pick 241 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
