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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Roc Taylor, Round 7, Pick 25, roughly 54 picks past where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick 25 they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery slipping to slot 58 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
They let Barrett Carter come to them and pounced at the 89th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Terrance Ferguson at No. 127 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at pick No. 167 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick243 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Somehow Roc Taylor was still sitting there in the 243rd overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
