Overall B

Grand theft in pick 164: the Texans steal Carter and grade out a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Barrett Carter, pick 164, roughly 79 picks past where he belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They will need Jackson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick25 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty

In the 25th overall pick they get a three-down runner, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.

Pick57 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson

They reached into another round for Donovan Jackson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.

Pick89 Rnd3 Jalon Walker

A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in No. 89, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.

Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.

You do not let a safety like Kevin Winston Jr. reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.

Pick164 Rnd5 Barrett Carter

Barrett Carter in slot 164 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
