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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Cam Skattebo tumbling to the Texans in No. 243 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Every board in the league had Slater lower, and that gap is the story. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 25 they get a disruptive interior force, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Taking Tyleik Williams in No. 58 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They liked Savion Williams enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 25. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jackson Slater this early at pick 127. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick167 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 167 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at the Round 7 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
