Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 24: the Texans steal Marks and grade out a C.

The Texans lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The final tally is a middling C.

Marks at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The Moore reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In No. 24 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in the 41st overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
By-the-book stuff, Tate Ratledge at the 56th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Nic Anderson
Nice patience on Nic Anderson, who had no business lasting to pick No. 89. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick120 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum slipping to pick 120 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick155 Rnd5 Trey Moore
Trey Moore in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick216 Rnd7 Jo'Quavious Marks
They robbed the room for Jo'Quavious Marks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
