Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Arroyo fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Elijah Arroyo, the No. 78 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 127.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 25 they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at slot 58 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Matthew Golden
They robbed the room for Matthew Golden here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at the 127th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater in Round 5, Pick 28 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in pick 243 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
