Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in slot 257 lands the Texans a B+, Leonard and all.

Call it larceny. Riley Leonard sat on the board until the 257th pick, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Fairchild has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In slot 25 they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at pick No. 66 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A premium they did not need to pay, Dylan Fairchild a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They paid a round early for Jared Wilson in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick166 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at pick 166 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
They barely believed it either: Trevor Etienne still on the board at the 236th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
By-the-book stuff, CJ Dippre at Round 7, Pick 25 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick257 Rnd7 Riley Leonard
Steal is underselling it; Riley Leonard at No. 257 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
