Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Hampton. Final grade: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Texans fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

That Hampton pick is the receipt they will wave around later. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Trey Smith gives the group a proven body among the projects.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
They let Matthew Golden come to them and pounced at pick No. 31. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in slot 58 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick79 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at the 79th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They paid up for Jared Wilson at No. 89 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick236 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah slid further than he should have, and pick 236 is lovely value for the running back. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
Akili Arnold at pick 241 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
