Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice running back is still a hole. The Texans never got to the one that mattered most. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 23rd pick they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at No. 59 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick85 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in pick No. 85 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in pick 124 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They paid sticker price for Tommy Eichenberg in slot 128, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A tidy little value on Jaylin Simpson in Round 5, Pick 25, a step better than break-even. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick236 Rnd7 Erick All
Fair-plus on Erick All, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jeremy Flax
Jeremy Flax in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
