Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Smith should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Brashard Smith slide 110 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick55 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They read the board right and Aireontae Ersery was the payoff at the 55th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They jumped the gun on Tate Ratledge, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick81 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Good price on Isaiah Bond in pick 81, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
A reach for Jaylin Noel in pick No. 86; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
They barely believed it either: Quinshon Judkins still on the board at the Round 3 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at the 117th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick158 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at Round 5, Pick 20 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick166 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
Circle this one: Riley Leonard at No. 166 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Somehow Jonas Sanker was still sitting there in pick No. 236, and they pounced on premier safety value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick241 Rnd7 Brashard Smith
They robbed the room for Brashard Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
