Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

The needs board said one thing and the Texans did another, using the Round 4 slot on Cade Stover while running back, edge rusher and other spots waited. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The cost of the Wilson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In pick No. 23 they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value. More want than need.
Pick58 Rnd2 Johnny Wilson
A reach on Johnny Wilson in slot 58; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at pick 90 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 123rd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cade Stover
They bypassed pressing needs at running back, edge rusher and other spots to take Cade Stover, a TE-EDGE that was not the priority.
