Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Smith fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Tykee Smith slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at pick 188. Highway robbery.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The cost of the Orhorhoro reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
No edge and no loss on Kamari Lassiter in slot 42; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
A conviction pick on Ruke Orhorhoro at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Value with a capital V on Ja'Lynn Polk in the 86th pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick123 Rnd4 James Williams
They took James Williams at par in No. 123, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in Round 4, Pick 27 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in the 188th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at pick 247 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
