Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Texans
Overall
B
ValueA
NeedB+

FutureB-
Larceny in No. 241 lands the Texans a B, Skattebo and all. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Cam Skattebo slide 131 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
The Capehart pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the 25th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in No. 58 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89
Rnd3
Tyler Warren
Somehow Tyler Warren was still sitting there in slot 89, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
This one needs a full-page explanation: DeMonte Capehart in the Round 4 slot, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 165, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick241
Rnd7
Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
