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

The Texans spent real capital to be 55 picks early on Jalen Catalon, and the board is going to hold them to it. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Lew value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick No. 28 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
They took Emmanuel Pregnon at par in pick 38, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick59 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
They let Lee Hunter come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Blake Miller
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Blake Miller at the 69th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Connor Lew
Somehow Connor Lew was still sitting there in slot 106, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick141 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Skyler Gill-Howard. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick167 Rnd5 Ephesians Prysock
A real head-scratcher, Ephesians Prysock in pick No. 167 is miles ahead of his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick243 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
Circle this one: Zavion Thomas at slot 243 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jalen Catalon
Value said wait; Jalen Catalon in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. It adds depth where they could use a little.
