Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Felton. Final grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tai Felton got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at slot 127.

Peebles has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In pick No. 25 they get an every-down engine for the run game. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
No drama and no debate, Alfred Collins went about where he belonged in the 58th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at pick 89 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
This one needs a full-page explanation: Hayden Conner in slot 167, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
