Nobody else had Sam Hartman anywhere near the 247th pick. The Texans did, by 36 spots, and that gap is the whole story. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Sainristil steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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