Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Skattebo from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Cam Skattebo got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 235. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Mason Graham
Mason Graham at the 19th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick 53 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in slot 84 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jake Majors
The board fumbled Jake Majors all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick164 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Sonny Styles in the 164th overall pick, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick235 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick No. 235 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
