Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Hampton: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Omarion Hampton, the No. 31 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 58. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting Bryant proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 25 they get a red-zone target to build around, and a steal at that.
Pick58 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They barely believed it either: Omarion Hampton still on the board at Round 2, Pick 26. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
They did well to land Isaiah Bond in the 79th pick, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in No. 97 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at the Round 5 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
No edge and no loss on Seth McLaughlin in pick No. 166; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue slipping to the 187th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
You do not let a safety like R.J. Mickens reach pick 236 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They read the board right and Cam Jackson was the payoff at the 241st pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
