Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB- TradesA+ FutureC-
Nobody dealt better than the Texans this weekend: B-.

The Kamal Hadden pick is the one that will follow the Texans into the fall. They took him 40 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Payton Wilson
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a green-dot type in the middle, a steep price for the projection.
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill hitter at safety, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Worthy went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Good price on Cade Stover in pick No. 88, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in the 127th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick224 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Matthew Jones in pick 224, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 C.J. Hanson
A wild overpay on C.J. Hanson in pick No. 238, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
They reached into another round for Miyan Williams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
