Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Carter: D.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Texans, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Brooks reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Carter.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Deone Walker
In pick No. 21 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in the 53rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick54 Rnd2 Abdul Carter
The board fumbled Abdul Carter all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in pick 85 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Keon Sabb
No drama and no debate, Keon Sabb went about where he belonged in the 117th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
A reach for Tahj Brooks in Round 5, Pick 21; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick213 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
No edge and no loss on Jalon Daniels in the 213th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
