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

The Texans looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Thor Griffith at the 243rd pick regardless, 66 picks early. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Landing Ransom that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 25th pick they get a wrecking ball inside, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They reached a country mile for Donovan Jackson at Round 2, Pick 26, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A reach on Savion Williams in pick 89; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in pick No. 127 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick167 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in slot 167 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
