Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in Round 2, Pick 26 lands the Texans a B, Hampton and all.

Call it larceny. Omarion Hampton sat on the board until the 58th overall pick, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wilson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Job largely done: running back settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 25th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in Round 2, Pick 26 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Nice patience on Jalen Royals, who had no business lasting to pick No. 79. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They went early on Jared Wilson in the 89th pick, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick166 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
They took Chase Lundt at par in slot 166, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
By-the-book stuff, Isaac TeSlaa at pick 236 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor need, but a need all the same.
