Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Reid: B.

When a board-topper like Karene Reid slides to the 241st pick, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a mismatch in the passing game at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at slot 58 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Marcus Mbow
Taking Marcus Mbow in the 79th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in the 89th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kyle Williams. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson in No. 236 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241 Rnd7 Karene Reid
They robbed the room for Karene Reid here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
