Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Texans let Pearsall fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ricky Pearsall, No. 234, roughly 34 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Barrett has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They let Jeremiah Trotter Jr. come to them and pounced at No. 60. It fills a real need, too.
Pick92 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
No edge and no loss on Dominick Puni in pick No. 92; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zak Zinter in the 97th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cam Hart
A slide stopped in pick 117, with Cam Hart worth more than the price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick118 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in Round 4, Pick 18 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 James Williams
No drama and no debate, James Williams went about where he belonged in slot 126. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick148 Rnd5 Cade Stover
Nice patience on Cade Stover, who had no business lasting to the 148th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154 Rnd5 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick156 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at Round 5, Pick 20 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in pick No. 172 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick234 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in No. 234 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238 Rnd7 Marques Cox
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Marques Cox in the 238th pick, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
