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

The Texans looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Thor Griffith at the 236th overall pick regardless, 76 picks early. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 25th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
They liked Cameron Williams enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 58. It fills a real need, too.
Pick79 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A premium they did not need to pay, Savion Williams a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
They let Mason Taylor come to them and pounced at pick No. 89. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick166 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in pick 166 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick236 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
A wild overpay on Kaden Prather in No. 241, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
