Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Edwards: B.

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Donovan Edwards, the No. 205 name on the board, in pick No. 236. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: running back settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In slot 25 they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
They will replay Grey Zabel at pick No. 58 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Nice patience on Donovan Jackson, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Steal is underselling it; Jack Bech at pick 89 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A slide stopped in the 166th pick, with Bhayshul Tuten worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick236 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Taking Donovan Edwards in Round 7, Pick 20 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
Somehow R.J. Mickens was still sitting there in the 241st overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
