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

When a board-topper like Donovan Edwards slides to pick No. 236, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Wilson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a seam-stretching tight end at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in pick No. 58 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at pick 79 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in slot 89 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Kyle Williams at the 166th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Taking Donovan Edwards in the 236th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at No. 241 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
