Draft Grade — Texans
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Texans a A-, Thomas and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Nathan Thomas slide 37 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Beebe pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cooper Beebe well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick55 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at pick No. 55 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick135 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
Good price on Malik Mustapha in the 135th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in Round 5, Pick 34 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick235 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas in No. 235 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
