Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Texans torched the value chart for Hunter Wohler, taking him 26 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: running back settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 25 they get a load in the middle at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They took Jayden Higgins at par in the 58th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A wild overpay on Dylan Fairchild in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at slot 89 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
No edge and no loss on Ollie Gordon II in No. 166; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick236 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler at Round 7, Pick 20 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick241 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A reasonable price with a little left over, Isaac TeSlaa in the 241st pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
