Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B

Grand theft in Round 5, Pick 28: the Texans steal Bowman Jr. and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Billy Bowman Jr., the No. 119 name on the board, stolen at No. 167.

The Griffith pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick No. 58 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A straight-up fair deal on Dylan Fairchild at slot 89, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick127 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in the 127th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
A safety of that caliber at No. 167 is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at Round 7, Pick 25 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
