Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureC+
Larceny in the 58th pick lands the Texans a B, Emmanwori and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Nick Emmanwori got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at pick 58.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Hamilton pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 30th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in No. 58, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick62 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 62nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick79 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at slot 79 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Savion Williams
By-the-book stuff, Savion Williams at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Value with a capital V on Damien Martinez in pick No. 166, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in Round 7, Pick 20 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at pick 241 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
