Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B

Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Sampson: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Dylan Sampson tumbling to the Texans in pick 127 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

If Martin pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick 25 they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick66 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
The board had Alfred Collins higher than slot 66, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick No. 89 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
No edge and no loss on Jaylin Noel in the 95th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
The board fumbled Dylan Sampson all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in No. 167 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick243 Rnd7 Nick Martin
Nick Martin at the 243rd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
Kitan Crawford at Round 7, Pick 38 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
