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

When a board-topper like Cam Skattebo slides to Round 7, Pick 25, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They are betting Capehart proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 25th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 58th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
A big swing on DeMonte Capehart at Round 4, Pick 25, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in pick 165 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at pick No. 241 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
