Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Lew fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Connor Lew had no business being available in the 106th overall pick, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Ott pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 28th pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick38 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dillon Thieneman in No. 38. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick59 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
A edge rusher of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Gennings Dunker
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Gennings Dunker in the 69th overall pick, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106 Rnd4 Connor Lew
Connor Lew in pick 106 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
They paid a round early for Kyle Louis in pick No. 141, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jaydn Ott
They liked Jaydn Ott enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 167. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
The board had Jaren Kanak higher than Round 7, Pick 27, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick244 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
A straight-up fair deal on Fa'alili Fa'amoe at the 244th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
