Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Texans started one anyway for Thor Griffith, 66 picks ahead of schedule. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Ransom. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 25th pick they get a disruptive interior force. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach pick 58 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 89th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127 Rnd4 Savion Williams
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Savion Williams in slot 127, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at No. 243 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
