Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Skattebo: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cam Skattebo, the No. 110 name on the board, stolen at No. 241. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They are betting Cross III proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

Job largely done: running back settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick 25 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
The board fumbled Tate Ratledge all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at pick No. 89 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III at the 126th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Taking Sonny Styles in No. 165 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at slot 241 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
