Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA FutureB+
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B to prove it.

Nobody had Kyle Louis this high, and it is not close. The Texans reached 44 spots to get him at the 106th overall pick. No fireworks, but a solid B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Davis. Adding TreVeyon Henderson by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Christen Miller in pick 38 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at the 59th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick63 Rnd2 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge at No. 63 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jack Endries
A wild overpay on Jack Endries in the 69th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kyle Louis in pick No. 106, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tacario Davis at slot 113 is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick141 Rnd5 Zane Durant
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zane Durant. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick167 Rnd5 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss in the 167th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick243 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
A clean, defensible pick in pick 243 with a little surplus value in Eli Heidenreich. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at pick No. 244 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
