Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Texans this weekend: D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Texans, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Put together, it is a D-.

Every board in the league had Wiley lower, and that gap is the story. Landing Sweat that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Good price on Darius Robinson in pick No. 42, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
They did well to land Tyler Nubin in pick 43, just ahead of his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick59 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
Quietly one of the better values of the day, T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 28. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaylen Wright in the 86th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
A tidy bit of business in slot 123, where Elijah Jones graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick127 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
The board had cheaper options than Roger Rosengarten at No. 127, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jared Wiley in the 144th overall pick, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick188 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A reach on Curtis Jacobs in slot 188; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They liked Sam Hartman enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 7 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
