Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Allar: B.

The board owed the Texans one, and it paid up: Drew Allar, the No. 64 name on the board, sitting there at pick 130 like a gift left on the doorstep.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a rangy last line of defense. More want than need.
Pick61 Rnd2 Ollie Gordon II
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ollie Gordon II in No. 61. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jabbar Muhammad
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 29 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick130 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Taking Drew Allar in pick 130 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162 Rnd5 Aireontae Ersery
They will replay Aireontae Ersery at slot 162 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Jimmy Horn Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
