Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Texans fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

Some picks age like wine; Thor Griffith at the 243rd overall pick will need to, sitting 67 spots clear of his grade.

Jackson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick No. 22 they get a seam-stretching tight end, outstanding value to boot.
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 25th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow in the 58th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in No. 89 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Taking Donovan Jackson in Round 4, Pick 26 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick167 Rnd5 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at slot 243 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
