Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
Lovett should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B.

When a board-topper like Fabien Lovett slides to the 247th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

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

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Good price on Kamari Lassiter in the 45th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick59 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
The board had Cooper Beebe higher than the 59th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
No drama and no debate, Dominick Puni went about where he belonged in pick No. 86. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
A straight-up fair deal on Isaac Guerendo at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt in pick 127 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at slot 188 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick199 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
Steal is underselling it; Anthony Gould at Round 6, Pick 24 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 Fabien Lovett
They barely believed it either: Fabien Lovett still on the board at No. 247. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
