Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B- to prove it.

The Texans went off the board in a big way for KeAndre Lambert-Smith, 105 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

On value alone, Thornton Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
They jumped the gun on Cameron Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick79 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A real head-scratcher, Dylan Fairchild in pick 79 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the 89th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick166 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Circle this one: Malachi Moore at Round 5, Pick 28 is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick236 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns at No. 236 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 241st pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
