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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tahj Brooks, the 236th overall pick, roughly 120 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The White III pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 20th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in pick No. 52 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
You do not let a tight end like Harold Fannin Jr. reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jake Majors
The board fumbled Jake Majors all the way to No. 121, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick164 Rnd5 Ricky White III
Ricky White III in pick 164 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Steal is underselling it; Tahj Brooks at slot 236 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
