Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Hampton. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Omarion Hampton at slot 58 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren slid further than he should have, and No. 25 is lovely value for the tight end. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They will replay Omarion Hampton at the 58th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Donovan Jackson at the Round 3 slot is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick 89 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
A straight-up fair deal on Chase Lundt at Round 5, Pick 28, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in slot 236 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
They did well to land Jermari Harris in pick No. 241, just ahead of his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
