Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

Every other box got a look, but running back did not. The Texans will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Reaching for Mills left real value on the table behind him. That Colson pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Johnny Wilson
No drama and no debate, Johnny Wilson went about where he belonged in the 24th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick53 Rnd2 Kalen King
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Kalen King graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick95 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A straight-up fair deal on Blake Fisher at No. 95, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in pick 121 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick124 Rnd4 Junior Colson
The board had Junior Colson higher than the 124th overall pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A reach for Zion Tupuola-Fetui in slot 158; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240 Rnd7 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills in Round 7, Pick 20 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick242 Rnd7 Theo Johnson
They took Theo Johnson at par in pick No. 242, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
