Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 164: the Texans steal Winston Jr. and grade out a B.

When a board-topper like Kevin Winston Jr. slides to the Round 5 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The Booker reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In No. 25 they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Kenneth Grant in the 57th pick, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in the 89th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
They will replay Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 164 for years; that is how good the value is. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick241 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at pick 241 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
