Draft Grade — Texans

Grand theft in pick No. 89: the Texans steal Walker and grade out a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Jalon Walker, the No. 25 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 3, Pick 25. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Reaching for Jackson left real value on the table behind him. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 25 they get an every-down engine for the run game, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Value said wait; Donovan Jackson in the Round 2 slot says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in pick 89, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
A wild overpay on DeMonte Capehart in the 126th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
The board fumbled Lathan Ransom all the way to No. 164, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick241 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at pick No. 241 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
