Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Walker should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Jalon Walker, the No. 20 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 89. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Griffith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
A slide stopped in Round 1, Pick 25, with Tyler Warren worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Tyler Booker in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in slot 89 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 126th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick165 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 165 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick241 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at the 241st overall pick, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
