Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Texans: C+.

The war room fell hard for KeAndre Lambert-Smith, and it showed at slot 89: 105 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

On value alone, Pierce makes the weekend a net positive. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In slot 25 they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They talked themselves into Deone Walker at No. 58, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dylan Fairchild well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They reached into another round for KeAndre Lambert-Smith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at the 166th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick236 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
They went early on Marcus Yarns in pick 236, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Nothing to complain about; Isaac TeSlaa went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
