Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B

Grand theft in pick No. 236: the Texans steal Wells Jr. and grade out a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Antwane Wells Jr. got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at pick 236. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Conner pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In No. 25 they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Kaleb Johnson for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
By-the-book stuff, Ozzy Trapilo at slot 79 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at Round 3, Pick 25 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick166 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at pick 166 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick236 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in the 236th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
The board had cheaper options than Hayden Conner at pick No. 241, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
