Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Texans started one anyway for Shemar Turner, 26 picks ahead of schedule.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Ayomanor.

They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In the 25th pick they get a lead back with juice. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Shemar Turner
A big swing on Shemar Turner at the 58th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick79 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
The board had Elic Ayomanor higher than the Round 3 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in pick 89 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
