Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B.

The Texans torched the value chart for Thor Griffith, taking him 67 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Helm steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 25 they get a wrecking ball inside, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick 58 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They jumped the gun on Savion Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
You do not let a tight end like Gunnar Helm reach slot 127 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jackson Slater at No. 167 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
