Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in Round 7, Pick 25 lands the Texans a B, Skattebo and all.

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Cam Skattebo, the No. 111 name on the board, in the Round 7 slot.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 25th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Taking Colston Loveland in pick 58 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They did well to land Donovan Jackson in slot 89, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at pick No. 126 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
They robbed the room for Billy Bowman Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in Round 7, Pick 25, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
