2026 NFL Draft grades: Most experts believe Texans netted a solid class

As the 2026 NFL Draft has drawn to a close, the Houston Texans have their next crop of talent they believe can help them win a Super Bowl. Over the next few days, Houston will be looking to bring in a slew of undrafted free agents who didn't hear their name called during the draft. Overall, it was a solid draft haul for the Texans .

They ended up with just three picks in the first rounds, but two should be game-changers in interior lineman Keylan Rutledge and defensive tackle Kayden McDonald. In Round 2, the Texans surprised folks in the Greater Houston area by selecting Michigan tight end Marlin Klein. On Day 3, they also added some high upside rookies in offensive lineman Febechi Nwaiwu, linebacker Wade Woodaz, defensive back Kamari Ramsey, wide receiver Lewis Bond and linebacker Aiden Fisher.

How did the experts grade the draft class? We compiled 10 expert grades for the Texans' class and the majority of them were low on what L. A.

did. Of the 12 grades, most passing, grading out with a B- or better. There was, however, one C- grade by a publication who hated every Day 3 pick and considered the Rutledge selection a reach.
