Draft Grade — Texans

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Reed: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Jaylen Reed, the No. 188 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 236.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 25th pick they get a load in the middle at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A clean, defensible pick in pick 79 with a little surplus value in Isaiah Bond. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ozzy Trapilo in the 89th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
No edge and no loss on DJ Giddens in Round 5, Pick 28; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
They robbed the room for Jaylen Reed here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick241 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Isaac TeSlaa at No. 241 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
