Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Texans started one anyway for Jalen Catalon, 55 picks ahead of schedule.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. Getting Lew where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 28th pick they get a three-down second-level presence. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick59 Rnd2 Blake Miller
No edge and no loss on Blake Miller in No. 59; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Connor Lew
They read the board right and Connor Lew was the payoff at pick 69. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
By-the-book stuff, Michael Trigg at the 106th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick141 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
A straight-up fair deal on Skyler Gill-Howard at pick No. 141, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick167 Rnd5 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock at pick No. 167 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick243 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at Round 7, Pick 27 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jalen Catalon
Jalen Catalon at slot 244 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
