Overall B-

ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-

A sensible, unshowy class lands the Texans a B-.

The Texans bet big and early on Jalen Travis, 48 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Getting Mafah where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick25 Rnd1 Josh Simmons

In slot 25 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.

Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson

Donovan Jackson at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.

Pick79 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo

Elijah Arroyo in Round 3, Pick 15 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.

Pick89 Rnd3 Savion Williams

They paid sticker price for Savion Williams in pick 89, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.

Pick166 Rnd5 JJ Pegues

They reached a country mile for JJ Pegues at No. 166, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.

Pick236 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
