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

The Isaac TeSlaa pick is the one that will follow the Texans into the fall. They took him 70 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The Giddens steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 25 they get a disruptive interior force. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at slot 58 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick79 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in the 79th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They paid a round early for Jared Wilson in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick166 Rnd5 Isaac TeSlaa
Value said wait; Isaac TeSlaa in pick No. 166 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
They barely believed it either: DJ Giddens still on the board at No. 236. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241 Rnd7 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
Circle this one: KeAndre Lambert-Smith at pick No. 241 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
