Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Hampton: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Omarion Hampton slide 27 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Reaching for Wilson left real value on the table behind him. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 30th overall pick they get a red-zone target to build around at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A running back of that caliber at pick 58 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They went early on Charles Grant in slot 79, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at No. 109 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kyle Williams. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in pick No. 206 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
You do not let a safety like Jordan Hancock reach Round 7, Pick 20 and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick241 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 241, where Isaac TeSlaa graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
