Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Texans got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Texans took Benjamin Morrison a full 76 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

Landing Carter that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 22 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 24th pick they get a problem off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick53 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
You do not let a safety like Nick Emmanwori reach the 53rd overall pick and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick56 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in No. 56 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren slipping to slot 73 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A big swing on Deone Walker at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123 Rnd4 Benjamin Morrison
They talked themselves into Benjamin Morrison at the 123rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick166 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford in pick No. 166 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238 Rnd7 Barrett Carter
They will replay Barrett Carter at slot 238 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
