Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Pearsall should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B.

Call it larceny. Ricky Pearsall sat on the board until the Round 7 slot, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice.

The Hartman pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 26th pick they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Javon Foster
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Foster. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at the 92nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cam Hart at the Round 4 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They took Cedric Gray at par in Round 4, Pick 26, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick154 Rnd5 Devin Neal
No edge and no loss on Devin Neal in slot 154; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick234 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
They will replay Ricky Pearsall at No. 234 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at pick 238 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
