Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Winston Jr.: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Kevin Winston Jr. slide 68 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The Griffith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a red-zone target to build around, outstanding value to boot.
Pick58 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Nothing to complain about; Marcus Mbow went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
They let Isaiah Bond come to them and pounced at the 89th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 166 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick241 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A big swing on Thor Griffith at pick No. 241, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
