Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Bowman Jr. from sliding. Grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Billy Bowman Jr. slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at the 164th overall pick. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Every board in the league had Dellinger lower, and that gap is the story.

On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
They will replay Ashton Jeanty at the 25th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They robbed the room for Tyler Booker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Circle this one: Denzel Burke at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the 126th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick164 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
The board fumbled Billy Bowman Jr. all the way to No. 164, and they scooped it up. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick241 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A real head-scratcher, Garrett Dellinger in pick 241 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
