Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Phillips should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jordan Phillips, pick 167, roughly 55 picks past where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

Every board in the league had Griffith lower, and that gap is the story. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Kareem Hunt gives the group a proven body among the projects.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a security blanket over the middle, and a steal at that.
Pick58 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at pick 58 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick66 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A quiet steal in the 66th overall pick: Isaiah Bond for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They paid up for Cam Skattebo at the 89th pick when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at pick No. 127 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
The board fumbled Jordan Phillips all the way to slot 167, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick243 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at No. 243 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick256 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
