Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Carter. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Barrett Carter, the No. 83 name on the board, stolen at No. 164. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a lead back with juice at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Value with a capital V on Tyler Booker in pick No. 52, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They barely believed it either: Alfred Collins still on the board at the 84th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the 121st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick164 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
The board fumbled Barrett Carter all the way to No. 164, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Taking Jake Briningstool in pick 236 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
