Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
The Texans won the night they stopped Edwards from sliding. Grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Donovan Edwards slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at the 236th pick. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Colby pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 29th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea at Round 2, Pick 11 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick79 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Nice patience on Omarr Norman-Lott, who had no business lasting to No. 79. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Connor Colby
They jumped the gun on Connor Colby, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick236 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in slot 236 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
CJ Dippre at pick No. 241 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
