Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Williams fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somebody in the 243rd overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Texans sat still while Kyle Williams, the No. 209 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They will need Majors to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In No. 25 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that.
Pick58 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They took Alfred Collins at par in pick 58, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They talked themselves into Jake Majors at the 89th pick, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick167 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Logan Brown in slot 167. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
Circle this one: Kyle Williams at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
