Draft Grade — Texans

The Texans let Pearsall fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Ricky Pearsall tumbling to the Texans in No. 234 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The Hartman pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In No. 28 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at Round 2, Pick 17 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90 Rnd3 Will Shipley
A premium they did not need to pay, Will Shipley a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
They liked Jaden Hicks enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick128 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
A conviction pick on Payton Wilson at pick 128 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
They took Ben Sinnott at par in the 154th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick234 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
Taking Ricky Pearsall in the 234th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Sam Hartman this early at slot 238. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
