Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Hampton: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Omarion Hampton, the No. 31 name on the board, stolen at the Round 3 slot. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at slot 25 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jonah Savaiinaea at the Round 2 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick79 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the 79th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at Round 3, Pick 25 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
No edge and no loss on Kyle Williams in pick No. 166; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Good price on Isaac TeSlaa in pick 236, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson slid further than he should have, and the 241st overall pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
