Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Price: B-.

The board owed the Texans one, and it paid up: Jadarian Price, the No. 70 name on the board, sitting there at Round 4, Pick 6 like a gift left on the doorstep.

They will need Parker II to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Christen Miller
They paid sticker price for Christen Miller in the 38th pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brian Parker II well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price at slot 106 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick141 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They read the board right and Davison Igbinosun was the payoff at the 141st overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick167 Rnd5 Cyrus Allen
Nice patience on Cyrus Allen, who had no business lasting to pick 167. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Owen Heinecke
No drama and no debate, Owen Heinecke went about where he belonged in No. 243. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
They robbed the room for Miles Kitselman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
