Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Milum: D-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Dasan McCullough at Round 3, Pick 26 is 32 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They banked enough surplus on Milum to cover a lot of smaller sins.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 21st overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26 Rnd1 Tacario Davis
In pick No. 26 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value.
Pick27 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 27th pick they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick85 Rnd3 Trevor Etienne
A premium they did not need to pay, Trevor Etienne a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tyler Baron
They reached into another round for Tyler Baron, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Dasan McCullough
Value said wait; Dasan McCullough in the 90th pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
They went early on Sonny Styles in Round 4, Pick 21, and the value did not follow. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick149 Rnd5 Wyatt Milum
They robbed the room for Wyatt Milum here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick213 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
Good price on KJ Jefferson in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
