Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Uiagalelei: B.

When a board-topper like DJ Uiagalelei slides to Round 5, Pick 27, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The cost of the Baldwin reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 JT Tuimoloau
In pick 24 they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jabbar Muhammad
The board had Jabbar Muhammad higher than Round 2, Pick 9, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick56 Rnd2 Danny Stutsman
A premium they did not need to pay, Danny Stutsman a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88 Rnd3 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the 88th pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick120 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
They took Wyatt Milum at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155 Rnd5 DJ Uiagalelei
Taking DJ Uiagalelei in the 155th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216 Rnd7 Monaray Baldwin
A conviction pick on Monaray Baldwin at slot 216 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
