Draft Grade — Texans
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Warren: A-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Tyler Warren slide 42 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Bryant has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In the end it comes back to Tyler Warren, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They robbed the room for Tyler Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A straight-up fair deal on Charles Grant at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at pick 89 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
They talked themselves into Pat Bryant at No. 125, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
They took Seth McLaughlin at par in pick No. 166, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick181 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on JJ Pegues. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick236 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
Good price on Dante Trader Jr. in slot 236, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick241 Rnd7 Shemar James
They paid sticker price for Shemar James in Round 7, Pick 25, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
