Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Texans: B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Thor Griffith, 67 picks early at the 243rd pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

However the rest shakes out, Belton at that price is a win they earned. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at the 25th overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick58 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
A tidy little value on Harold Fannin Jr. in pick No. 58, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They did well to land Donovan Jackson in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in slot 127 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at pick 167 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
