Draft Grade — Texans

Larceny in pick No. 126 lands the Texans a B, James and all.

Somebody in the Round 4 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Texans sat still while Jordan James, the No. 53 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will need Slackman to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In slot 25 they get a centerpiece for the ground game. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 57 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at No. 89 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jordan James
They barely believed it either: Jordan James still on the board at Round 4, Pick 25. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Somehow Jake Majors was still sitting there in pick 164, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241 Rnd7 Joey Slackman
Joey Slackman in the 241st overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
