Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Skattebo: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Cam Skattebo got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at Round 7, Pick 25. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 58th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the 89th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick126 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 126 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Connor Colby
No drama and no debate, Connor Colby went about where he belonged in No. 165. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick No. 241 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
