Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Texans a B.

The Texans clearly saw something nobody else did in Brennan Presley, taking him 67 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 25 they get a workhorse for the backfield at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
The board fumbled Harold Fannin Jr. all the way to Round 2, Pick 29, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in the 89th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Nice patience on Jake Majors, who had no business lasting to No. 109. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Luke Kandra at slot 126 is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Michael Taaffe
They let Michael Taaffe come to them and pounced at pick No. 164. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick204 Rnd6 Brennan Presley
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brennan Presley well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206 Rnd6 Will Lee III
A wild overpay on Will Lee III in the 206th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick241 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xavier Truss this early at No. 241. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
