Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Texans took LaJohntay Wester at pick 189, roughly 42 spots before his name belonged.

Landing Alexander that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In pick No. 30 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A straight-up fair deal on Jonah Savaiinaea at No. 41, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick 58 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
No edge and no loss on Donovan Jackson in the 80th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick151 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 151st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166 Rnd5 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in slot 166 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick189 Rnd6 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester at slot 189 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kaden Prather. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
