Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Johnson: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Tez Johnson at Round 5, Pick 28 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They are betting Griffith proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 25 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Walter Nolen in slot 58, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They liked Savion Williams enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 89. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
They reached a country mile for Jackson Slater at the 127th pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick167 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
The board fumbled Tez Johnson all the way to the 167th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at pick 243 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
