Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Texans a B-.

The war room fell hard for Sam Hartman, and it showed at pick No. 189: 64 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Taylor.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No drama and no debate, Edgerrin Cooper went about where he belonged in pick 42. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
No edge and no loss on Ruke Orhorhoro in slot 59; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at No. 95 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cam Hart in the 123rd overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick127 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
They reached a country mile for Trevor Keegan at the 127th pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman at pick No. 131 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube at slot 173 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Nelson Ceaser
Nothing to complain about; Nelson Ceaser went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick189 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at No. 189 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
Fair-plus on Jaylan Ford, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Ryan Watts at Round 7, Pick 18 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor slid further than he should have, and the 247th pick is lovely value for the safety. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
