Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Brooks: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Tahj Brooks had no business being available in the 236th pick, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

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. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 25th overall pick they get a red-zone target to build around at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They paid sticker price for Donovan Jackson in the 58th pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick79 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A straight-up fair deal on Ozzy Trapilo at pick No. 79, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in pick 89 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
No drama and no debate, Kyle Williams went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 28. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Somehow Tahj Brooks was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at slot 241 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
