Draft Grade — Texans

Grand theft in the 58th overall pick: the Texans steal Loveland and grade out a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Colston Loveland slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at pick 58. Highway robbery. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Every board in the league had Wilson lower, and that gap is the story.

Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 25 they get a red-zone target to build around, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Steal is underselling it; Colston Loveland at slot 58 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They jumped the gun on Charles Grant, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in pick No. 89 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on RJ Harvey. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks in the 236th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick241 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Nothing to complain about; Isaac TeSlaa went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
