Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Carter should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Barrett Carter, the No. 83 name on the board, stolen at the 164th overall pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The cost of the Jackson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In No. 20 they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Donovan Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at the 84th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick121 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick 121 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick164 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
You do not let a linebacker like Barrett Carter reach slot 164 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Steal is underselling it; Ollie Gordon II at the 236th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
