Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Texans spent Round 5, Pick 28 on KeAndre Lambert-Smith, a name most had 32 spots down the list.

On value alone, Judkins makes the weekend a net positive. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at Round 2, Pick 26 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick79 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They paid up for Charles Grant at slot 79 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
They barely believed it either: Quinshon Judkins still on the board at pick 89. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166 Rnd5 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A big swing on KeAndre Lambert-Smith at pick No. 166, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at the 236th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris is a better player than slot 241 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
