Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Leigh from sliding. Grade: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Tristan Leigh tumbling to the Texans in pick No. 216 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. Reaching for Collins left real value on the table behind him. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tacario Davis
In slot 24 they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick41 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson in pick No. 41 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick56 Rnd2 Andrew Mukuba
They liked Andrew Mukuba enough to skip the value, taking him in the 56th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jay Higgins
A reach on Jay Higgins in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120 Rnd4 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the 120th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick155 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at No. 155 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh at pick 216 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
