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

Call it larceny. RJ Harvey sat on the board until Round 7, Pick 20, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 25 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They read the board right and Aireontae Ersery was the payoff at No. 58. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick79 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
By-the-book stuff, Ozzy Trapilo at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the 89th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at Round 5, Pick 28 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
A running back of that caliber at pick 236 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick241 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
Somehow Chimere Dike was still sitting there in pick No. 241, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
