Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Thor Griffith; the Texans did not wait, grabbing him 45 spots ahead at pick 241.

The Restrepo steal is the beam this whole class leans on. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a matchup weapon at tight end at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They jumped the gun on Tate Ratledge, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at slot 89 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at the Round 4 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Upton Stout
Upton Stout at No. 165 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick241 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at the 241st pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
