Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Texans torched the value chart for CJ West, taking him 47 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They banked enough surplus on TeSlaa to cover a lot of smaller sins. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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 Nick Emmanwori
In the 25th pick they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick58 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They took Alfred Collins at par in No. 58, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A straight-up fair deal on Ozzy Trapilo at pick 79, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They jumped the gun on Cam Skattebo, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick166 Rnd5 CJ West
Value said wait; CJ West in the 166th overall pick says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in the Round 7 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
