Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Texans let Harris fall and pounced. Final grade: D-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Texans did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

The cost of the Colson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

With interior defensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. The Harris steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Rome Odunze in the Round 1 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick 27 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at No. 35 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick53 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in pick No. 53 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A want over a need in the 85th pick: Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE while interior defensive lineman keeps waiting.
Pick89 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in Round 3, Pick 26 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the 90th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick95 Rnd3 Quinyon Mitchell
A curious use of Round 3, Pick 32. Interior defensive lineman needed the pick; a cornerback in Quinyon Mitchell did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 James Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, James Williams well ahead of where he belonged. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
No edge and no loss on Jaheim Bell in pick No. 121; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick124 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
A conviction pick on Donovan Jackson at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick158 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
A straight-up fair deal on Dylan Laube at pick 158, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in No. 240 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick242 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in slot 242 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
