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

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Cam Skattebo, the No. 110 name on the board, in slot 241. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Kandra reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mason Graham
Mason Graham in the 25th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
They jumped the gun on Luke Kandra, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 126 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Sonny Styles in the 165th overall pick, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick No. 241 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
