Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C-
ValueF NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans answered their biggest question with Nussmeier. Grade: C-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Texans spent slot 69 on Drew Allar, a name the board had a full 78 spots lower.

Whatever Garrett Nussmeier becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Garrett Nussmeier
A wild overpay on Garrett Nussmeier in pick No. 28, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick38 Rnd2 Carson Beck
Carson Beck in the 38th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick59 Rnd2 Cade Klubnik
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cade Klubnik well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69 Rnd3 Drew Allar
Value said wait; Drew Allar in the 69th pick says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Taylen Green
A real head-scratcher, Taylen Green in No. 106 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick167 Rnd5 Miller Moss
Miller Moss at slot 167 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick243 Rnd7 Joey Aguilar
They reached a country mile for Joey Aguilar at pick 243, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
