Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Texans skipped the loudest one: running back is exactly as bare as it was.

Andersen has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
Nothing to complain about; Terrion Arnold went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick59 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 59 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
They did well to land Malachi Corley in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the 124th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They liked Ben Sinnott enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 28. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
They paid up for Jaylan Ford at pick 161 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jeremy Flax
Jeremy Flax at slot 236 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Nick Andersen
Nick Andersen at No. 245 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
