Draft Grade — Texans

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Edwards: B.

Somebody in the Round 7 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Texans sat still while Donovan Edwards, the No. 204 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: running back settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 25 they get a mismatch in the passing game at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at slot 58 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick79 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
They let Elic Ayomanor come to them and pounced at pick No. 79. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Nothing to complain about; Ozzy Trapilo went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick166 Rnd5 Nick Nash
A tidy bit of business in the 166th pick, where Nick Nash graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at the 236th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick241 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
Value with a capital V on Akili Arnold in No. 241, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
