Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Texans looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jalen Travis at the 241st pick regardless, 48 picks early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. On value alone, Arroyo makes the weekend a net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 25th pick they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Good price on Marcus Mbow in pick 58, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick79 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They let Donovan Jackson come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 15. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at No. 89 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah in pick No. 236 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at the 241st pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
