Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Rosemy-Jacksaint fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somebody in the Round 7 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Texans sat still while Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, the No. 195 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They are betting Smith proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Hart pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots still on the board.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Rome Odunze
They will replay Rome Odunze at Round 2, Pick 10 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick59 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at slot 59 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick86 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They talked themselves into Maason Smith at the 86th pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cam Hart
A curious use of pick No. 123. Edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Cam Hart did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
By-the-book stuff, Isaac Guerendo at pick 127 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick188 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at the 188th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Steal is underselling it; Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at No. 247 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
