Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jalen Catalon at pick 243, a reach of 56 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. The Roush pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down second-level presence. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
The board had cheaper options than Gennings Dunker at Round 2, Pick 6, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick59 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks is a better player than the 59th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis in No. 69 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Sam Roush
They robbed the room for Sam Roush here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock in slot 167 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jalen Catalon
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Catalon in pick 243 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
