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

Call it larceny. Josh Conerly Jr. sat on the board until No. 88, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tacario Davis
In the 24th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
Pick41 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson in slot 41 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick56 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in Round 2, Pick 24 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. in No. 88 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander in pick No. 120 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick155 Rnd5 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in pick 155 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick216 Rnd7 Noah Thomas
A clean, defensible pick in the 216th pick with a little surplus value in Noah Thomas. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
