Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named edge rusher, a need the Texans walked right past. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Bond reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In pick 25 they get a cornerstone up front, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
A conviction pick on Isaiah Bond at slot 58 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at Round 3, Pick 15 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick No. 94 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at the 166th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick184 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They went early on KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the Round 6 slot, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick192 Rnd6 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at the 192nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in No. 241 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
