Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Sanders. Final grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Raheim Sanders tumbling to the Texans in pick 241 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 25th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
The board fumbled Tyler Warren all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dylan Fairchild in Round 3, Pick 25. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in the 126th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in slot 165 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick241 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
A running back of that caliber at pick 241 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
