Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB
Larceny in the 167th pick lands the Texans a B+, Brooks and all.

The board owed the Texans one, and it paid up: Tahj Brooks, the No. 122 name on the board, sitting there at the 167th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 25th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in pick 63 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at the 89th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Circle this one: Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 127 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick167 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
Somehow Tahj Brooks was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick243 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams in slot 243 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
