Draft Grade — Texans

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Warren: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Tyler Warren at the 130th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In slot 30 they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Barrett Carter at Round 2, Pick 29. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in the 94th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick130 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Warren at pick 130 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164 Rnd5 Bear Alexander
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bear Alexander at pick No. 164 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
