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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Raheim Sanders tumbling to the Texans in pick 241 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
They took Kenneth Grant at par in pick No. 25, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They let Tyler Warren come to them and pounced at slot 58. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They barely believed it either: Xavier Watts still on the board at the 89th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick126 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Steal is underselling it; Luke Kandra at the 126th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Somehow Jake Majors was still sitting there in No. 164, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
The board fumbled Raheim Sanders all the way to pick 241, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
