Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Bowman Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Billy Bowman Jr. got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at pick 165.

They are betting Griffith proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a security blanket over the middle, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge slid further than he should have, and slot 89 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
They barely believed it either: Dylan Fairchild still on the board at the 126th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in pick No. 165 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick241 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at the 241st overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
