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

You could see the war room lean forward. Omarion Hampton at No. 62 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Conner pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Warren in No. 31. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams in the 66th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Circle this one: Jayden Higgins at the 79th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
No drama and no debate, Gunnar Helm went about where he belonged in pick 89. The roster fit checks out.
Pick109 Rnd4 Chimere Dike
Nothing to complain about; Chimere Dike went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
No edge and no loss on Chase Lundt in Round 5, Pick 28; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
They read the board right and Kalel Mullings was the payoff at pick No. 173. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Value said wait; Hayden Conner in pick 236 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at Round 7, Pick 25 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
