Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Brooks from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tahj Brooks got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at pick 241. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Reaching for Wilson left real value on the table behind him. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in pick No. 58 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A reach on Charles Grant in Round 3, Pick 15; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They went early on Jared Wilson in the 89th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kyle Williams. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at slot 236 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
They will replay Tahj Brooks at No. 241 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
