Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Edwards: B.

The board owed the Texans one, and it paid up: Donovan Edwards, the No. 205 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 7 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Grant has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
They paid sticker price for Jalen Royals in pick No. 58, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They liked Charles Grant enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 79. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kaimon Rucker
They let Kaimon Rucker come to them and pounced at No. 166. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in the 236th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jalen McLeod
You do not let an edge rusher like Jalen McLeod reach pick 241 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
