Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Texans: B.

The tape said wait; the Texans did not. Thor Griffith went at pick 241, a good 71 picks before the board was ready.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Emmanwori. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. 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 Matthew Golden
In the 25th overall pick they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 59 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick79 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A conviction pick on Cam Skattebo at the 89th pick that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
They will replay Jaylin Noel at pick 129 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at No. 166 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Willie Lampkin at No. 183. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A quiet steal in the 210th pick: Jay Higgins for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
They reached into another round for Jaylin Smith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick241 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at pick No. 241 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
