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

The war room fell hard for Willie Lampkin, and it showed at slot 89: 80 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The Harris value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick No. 79 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Willie Lampkin
They left a pile of value on the table to take Willie Lampkin this early at Round 3, Pick 25. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick166 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey is a better player than pick 166 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick236 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
A tidy little value on Kitan Crawford in No. 236, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick241 Rnd7 Joey Slackman
Joey Slackman in No. 241 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
