Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Walker: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jalon Walker got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at the 84th overall pick. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In slot 20 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They let Tyler Booker come to them and pounced at the 52nd pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at the 84th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Steal is underselling it; Andrew Mukuba at Round 4, Pick 20 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick164 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
No drama and no debate, Eli Stowers went about where he belonged in No. 164. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Shilo Sanders. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
