Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Skattebo: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cam Skattebo, the No. 114 name on the board, stolen at No. 241. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 25 they get an anchor for the defensive front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Taking Tyler Booker in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at pick No. 89 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in slot 126 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
The board fumbled Kevin Winston Jr. all the way to No. 164, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 241st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
