Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Texans skipped the loudest one: edge rusher is exactly as bare as it was.

The Buchanan pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Getting Williams where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
They took Wyatt Milum at par in the 58th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams slipping to slot 79 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They did well to land Deone Walker in Round 3, Pick 25, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 166 with a little surplus value in Damien Martinez. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in pick 236 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick241 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at the 241st pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
