Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Emmanwori from sliding. Grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Nick Emmanwori had no business being available in the 58th pick, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at slot 58 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick79 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick No. 79 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mason Taylor at the 89th overall pick is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick166 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick236 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie slipping to the 236th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Steal is underselling it; Kobe Hudson at Round 7, Pick 25 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
