Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Texans spent real capital to be 57 picks early on Garrett Dellinger, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 25th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick 58 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
They reached into another round for Dylan Fairchild, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Miles Frazier
They reached a country mile for Miles Frazier at slot 89, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
No drama and no debate, DJ Giddens went about where he belonged in pick No. 166. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick236 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A real head-scratcher, Garrett Dellinger in Round 7, Pick 20 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at slot 241 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
