Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

The Jackson Woodard selection is the head-turner. The Texans reached 86 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Ersery steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyleik Williams
In the 25th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They read the board right and Aireontae Ersery was the payoff at slot 58. It fills a real need, too.
Pick79 Rnd3 Tai Felton
A big swing on Tai Felton at No. 79, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Good price on Ozzy Trapilo in the 89th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
They liked Quincy Riley enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 166. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick236 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Elijhah Badger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jackson Woodard
A real head-scratcher, Jackson Woodard in Round 7, Pick 25 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
