Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 236: the Texans steal Brooks and grade out a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tahj Brooks, slot 236, roughly 34 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Every board in the league had Wohler lower, and that gap is the story. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
By-the-book stuff, Tyleik Williams at pick 33 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They liked Tate Ratledge enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick79 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They paid up for Charles Grant at pick No. 79 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tai Felton
Tai Felton in slot 89 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
A conviction pick on Nohl Williams at No. 104 that the board grades a round light. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick166 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dont'e Thornton Jr. this early at the 166th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick236 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Circle this one: Tahj Brooks at Round 7, Pick 20 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler in the 241st overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
