Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Texans shredded theirs for Eyabi Okie-Anoma. He came off 38 spots early, and the room will hear about it. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They banked enough surplus on Cooper to cover a lot of smaller sins. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In No. 23 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the 59th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86 Rnd3 Trey Benson
No drama and no debate, Trey Benson went about where he belonged in pick No. 86. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
They left a pile of value on the table to take Luke McCaffrey this early at the Round 4 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They paid sticker price for Mohamed Kamara in slot 127, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick224 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at pick 224 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens in slot 238 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick247 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Eyabi Okie-Anoma. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
