Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Starks. Final grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Malaki Starks tumbling to the Texans in the Round 3 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will answer for taking safety early while wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots went begging. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick No. 57 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
They barely believed it either: Malaki Starks still on the board at slot 89. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A curious use of Round 4, Pick 25. Wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Kevin Winston Jr. did not.
Pick164 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
By-the-book stuff, Eli Stowers at the 164th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241 Rnd7 Clay Webb
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Clay Webb in pick 241, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
