Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

The Xavier Thomas selection is the head-turner. The Texans reached 30 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In No. 26 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kalen King
They took Kalen King at par in the 49th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick92 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
No drama and no debate, Nazir Stackhouse went about where he belonged in the 92nd pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Junior Colson
No edge and no loss on Junior Colson in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at Round 4, Pick 26 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at slot 154 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick234 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Xavier Thomas. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238 Rnd7 Reuben Fatheree II
A reasonable price with a little left over, Reuben Fatheree II in the 238th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
