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

The Texans torched the value chart for Thor Griffith, taking him 52 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Williams value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 25th overall pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end, outstanding value to boot.
Pick58 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
A clean, defensible pick in No. 58 with a little surplus value in Marcus Mbow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Andrew Mukuba. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick127 Rnd4 Savion Williams
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Savion Williams in pick 127, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
No edge and no loss on Quincy Riley in slot 167; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in the 243rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
