Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Weigman fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Conner Weigman, No. 120, roughly 50 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Every board in the league had Griffith lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher 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
Pick24 Rnd1 Harold Perkins Jr.
In pick 24 they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick41 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau slid further than he should have, and the 41st overall pick is lovely value for the edge rusher. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at pick No. 56 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
They let Sebastian Castro come to them and pounced at the 88th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick120 Rnd4 Conner Weigman
Taking Conner Weigman in No. 120 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick155 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd7 Turner Corcoran
They reached into another round for Turner Corcoran, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
