Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 166: the Texans steal Winston Jr. and grade out a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kevin Winston Jr., No. 166, roughly 67 picks past where he belonged.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Wilson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 25th overall pick they get a load in the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in the 58th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jayden Higgins in pick 79. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
A reach on Jared Wilson in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 166 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick236 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. at slot 236 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
The board fumbled Tahj Brooks all the way to Round 7, Pick 25, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
