Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
The Texans worked the phones like thieves and earned a B-.

The Texans torched the value chart for Connor Colby, taking him 85 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

On value alone, Lovett makes the weekend a net positive. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 20th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In the 27th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in slot 58 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser in pick No. 123 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They left a pile of value on the table to take Justin Eboigbe this early at No. 135. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Gabe Hall well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
A wild overpay on Eric Gentry in pick No. 203, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Dominic Lovett
Dominic Lovett at the 239th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Connor Colby
They reached into another round for Connor Colby, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at slot 249 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
