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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Donovan Edwards tumbling to the Texans in the Round 7 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting Milum proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In the 25th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A premium they did not need to pay, Tate Ratledge a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
They took Carson Schwesinger at par in Round 3, Pick 17, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 89 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton in the 119th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick236 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
They will replay Donovan Edwards at pick 236 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 Karene Reid
The board fumbled Karene Reid all the way to slot 241, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
