Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B- to prove it.

Some picks age like wine; Ben Bywater at pick No. 216 will need to, sitting 22 spots clear of his grade.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. Sawyer at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tacario Davis
In slot 24 they get a lockdown presence outside. More want than need.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
A quiet steal in the 41st overall pick: Jack Sawyer for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick56 Rnd2 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in Round 2, Pick 24 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bear Alexander
A conviction pick on Bear Alexander at pick 88 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jonah Monheim. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 Julian Fleming
A big swing on Julian Fleming at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd7 Ben Bywater
Ben Bywater at slot 216 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
