Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Texans took Tyler Baron at slot 155, roughly 31 spots before his name belonged.

Landing Carter that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Harold Perkins Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams slid further than he should have, and the 41st pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
The board had Tyler Booker higher than the 56th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick63 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at pick 63 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick88 Rnd3 Devin Neal
They paid up for Devin Neal at No. 88 when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill at slot 120 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick155 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron in pick No. 155 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd7 Moose Muhammad III
A straight-up fair deal on Moose Muhammad III at the 216th pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
