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

The war room fell hard for Eyabi Okie-Anoma, and it showed at pick 248: 104 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Allen value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In slot 23 they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold at the 24th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 1 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick59 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They jumped the gun on Payton Wilson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at pick No. 85 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
The board had cheaper options than Malik Mustapha at pick 123, and it noticed. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at the 127th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen is a better player than Round 5, Pick 28 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239 Rnd7 Julius Welschof
They left a pile of value on the table to take Julius Welschof this early at pick 239. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick248 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
Eyabi Okie-Anoma at slot 248 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
