Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 241st pick lands the Texans a B, Skattebo and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Cam Skattebo slide 132 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The Capehart reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 25 they get a wrecking ball inside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 58th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
They went early on Luke Kandra in No. 89, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
A real head-scratcher, DeMonte Capehart in the 126th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 164 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at Round 7, Pick 25 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
