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

The rest of the league had time to spare on Miles Frazier; the Texans did not wait, grabbing him 29 spots ahead at Round 3, Pick 25. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Getting Sampson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaylin Noel
No edge and no loss on Jaylin Noel in the 58th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dylan Sampson at pick No. 79. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Miles Frazier
A wild overpay on Miles Frazier in slot 89, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
