Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 6 slot lands the Texans a D, Laube and all.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Texans, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Pratt lower, and that gap is the story. On value alone, Laube makes the weekend a net positive.

The Jalen Ramsey pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at the 42nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick43 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They paid sticker price for Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 11, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick63 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
No drama and no debate, Christian Haynes went about where he belonged in pick No. 63. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
No edge and no loss on Ruke Orhorhoro in pick 66; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Renardo Green at slot 86 is the proof. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick123 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
A premium they did not need to pay, Michael Pratt a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124 Rnd4 Christian Jones
A conviction pick on Christian Jones at pick 124 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A straight-up fair deal on Mohamed Kamara at slot 127, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
A clean, defensible pick in the 138th pick with a little surplus value in Sataoa Laumea. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at the 139th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick176 Rnd6 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube at Round 6, Pick 1 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in No. 188 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
