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

Call it larceny. Michael Barrett sat on the board until pick 250, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Lovett has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the 23rd pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end, outstanding value to boot.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No drama and no debate, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
No edge and no loss on Bucky Irving in pick No. 86; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Brenden Rice in pick 124, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Fabien Lovett
A reach for Fabien Lovett in slot 128; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick236 Rnd7 Evan Williams
They took Evan Williams at par in the 236th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
A conviction pick on Ryan Watts at Round 7, Pick 25 that the board grades a round light. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick250 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
They robbed the room for Michael Barrett here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
