Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B to prove it.

The Texans looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Thor Griffith at Round 7, Pick 25 regardless, 67 picks early.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. The McMillan pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 25 they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at the 58th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at slot 89 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
By-the-book stuff, Darius Alexander at No. 127 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jackson Slater at pick No. 167. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in Round 7, Pick 25 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
