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

You build a draft on nights like this. Caleb Ransaw had no business being available in pick 241, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Warren at pick No. 25 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Value with a capital V on Kaleb Johnson in the 58th overall pick, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
They robbed the room for Cameron Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A tidy little value on Ozzy Trapilo in the 90th pick, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jaylin Lane
Jaylin Lane at slot 127 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at pick 166 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
They will replay Donovan Edwards at Round 7, Pick 20 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw in No. 241 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
