Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 4 slot lands the Texans a B, Pearsall and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ricky Pearsall got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at the 127th pick.

The cost of the Hartman reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 23 they get a building block for the line, outstanding value to boot.
Pick59 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Taking Adonai Mitchell in Round 2, Pick 27 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick123 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Isaac Guerendo in the 123rd overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127 Rnd4 Ricky Pearsall
Steal is underselling it; Ricky Pearsall at the 127th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick224 Rnd7 Luke McCaffrey
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Luke McCaffrey in slot 224, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A slide stopped in pick No. 238, with Tyler Owens worth more than the price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick247 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
A real head-scratcher, Sam Hartman in pick 247 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
