Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB+
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Thomas: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Nathan Thomas slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at the 238th pick. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

If Jackson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick51 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
A cornerback of that caliber at the 51st pick is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick59 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
They will replay Adonai Mitchell at No. 59 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They let Jeremiah Trotter Jr. come to them and pounced at slot 86. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Nice patience on Braelon Allen, who had no business lasting to pick No. 125. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
They talked themselves into McKinnley Jackson at pick 127, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at Round 6, Pick 13 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick189 Rnd6 James Williams
James Williams slid further than he should have, and the 189th overall pick is lovely value for the linebacker. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
You do not let an offensive lineman like Nathan Thomas reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
They took Tyler Owens at par in pick 247, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
