Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Some picks age like wine; Thor Griffith at No. 243 will need to, sitting 66 spots clear of his grade. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Bowman Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 25th pick they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at pick 58 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They went early on Savion Williams in pick No. 89, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater in slot 127 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick167 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in No. 243 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
