Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Mukuba from sliding. Grade: B.

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Andrew Mukuba, the No. 74 name on the board, in pick No. 126. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: running back settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 25 they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Marcus Mbow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in pick No. 89 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Steal is underselling it; Andrew Mukuba at the 126th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick164 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at slot 164 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They paid sticker price for Shilo Sanders in the 241st overall pick, and that is fine. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
