Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 166th pick: the Texans steal Trapilo and grade out a B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Ozzy Trapilo slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at Round 5, Pick 28. Highway robbery.

The Badger reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Booker at the 37th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at Round 2, Pick 26 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech in pick No. 68 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
A conviction pick on Darius Alexander at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the 89th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick166 Rnd5 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at slot 166 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick236 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
A big swing on Elijhah Badger at No. 236, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick241 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
This one needs a full-page explanation: Francisco Mauigoa in pick 241, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
