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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Tahj Brooks slide 38 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a red-zone target to build around, outstanding value to boot.
Pick58 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at pick 58 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick79 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They took Ozzy Trapilo at par in No. 79, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Charles Grant. It fills a real need, too.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in pick No. 166 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Steal is underselling it; Tahj Brooks at the 236th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Donovan Edwards in the 241st overall pick, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
