Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Rosemy-Jacksaint: B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, the No. 197 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 250th pick.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Tagovailoa reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In No. 32 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the 64th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
They took Jaylin Simpson at par in pick 133, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick235 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Frank Gore Jr. at slot 235 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick236 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
No drama and no debate, Trevin Wallace went about where he belonged in the 236th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They will replay Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at Round 7, Pick 30 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
