Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Texans' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it.

Wilson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. However the rest shakes out, Jackson at that price is a win they earned. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at slot 58 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
No drama and no debate, Ozzy Trapilo went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 15. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at pick 89 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
They took Kyle Williams at par in the 166th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah at the 236th overall pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ja'Quinden Jackson at pick No. 241. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
