Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Lassiter: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kamari Lassiter got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at No. 59. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Taylor III has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze slipping to pick 23 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Circle this one: Kamari Lassiter at pick No. 59 is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick86 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
No drama and no debate, Tommy Eichenberg went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 24. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at the 128th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick236 Rnd7 AJ Barner
A tight end of that caliber at No. 236 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Taylor in slot 245, miles early. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jase McClellan at the 250th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
