Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Texans get a C+.

The KeAndre Lambert-Smith selection is the head-turner. The Texans reached 109 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The Mickens steal is the beam this whole class leans on. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

So much rides on Tyler Booker that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In No. 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all.
Pick58 Rnd2 Omarr Norman-Lott
The board had cheaper options than Omarr Norman-Lott at pick 58, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
A real head-scratcher, Jared Wilson in the 79th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They talked themselves into KeAndre Lambert-Smith at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
No edge and no loss on DJ Giddens in slot 166; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Fair-plus on Isaac TeSlaa, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick241 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
You do not let a safety like R.J. Mickens reach pick No. 241 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
