Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 58 lands the Texans a B, Hampton and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Omarion Hampton slide 27 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They are betting Williams proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 25 they get a red-zone target to build around, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at the 58th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Value with a capital V on Donovan Jackson in the 79th pick, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ozzy Trapilo in Round 3, Pick 25. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick166 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
They paid sticker price for Seth McLaughlin in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick236 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Sam Brown Jr. a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick241 Rnd7 John Williams
They talked themselves into John Williams at slot 241, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
