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

There is reaching, and then there is Clay Webb at the Round 3 slot. The Texans jumped the board by 103 and dared it to prove them wrong. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Harris.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
No drama and no debate, Jayden Higgins went about where he belonged in the 58th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
A real head-scratcher, Jared Wilson in the 79th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Clay Webb
They talked themselves into Clay Webb at No. 89, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at slot 166 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick236 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
By-the-book stuff, Isaac TeSlaa at pick 236 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jermari Harris at Round 7, Pick 25 is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
