Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Edwards fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Donovan Edwards got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 241. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Matavao reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 25th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 2, Pick 26 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick79 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in No. 79 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
A reach for Jared Wilson in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick166 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in slot 166 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Moliki Matavao
They left a pile of value on the table to take Moliki Matavao this early at pick No. 236. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in the 241st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
