Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Thornton Jr.. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Texans one, and it paid up: Dont'e Thornton Jr., the No. 173 name on the board, sitting there at the 236th pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at the 58th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick79 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at the 79th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at Round 3, Pick 26 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Circle this one: Tory Horton at No. 166 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
You do not let a wide receiver like Dont'e Thornton Jr. reach slot 236 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Somehow Jordan Hancock was still sitting there in pick No. 241, and they pounced on premier safety value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
