Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
The Texans robbed the room for Pearsall. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ricky Pearsall, the 234th overall pick, roughly 34 picks past where he belonged.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If Corley pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In No. 26 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 27th pick they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at Round 2, Pick 17 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
A reach on Tyler Davis in pick No. 92; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at pick 117 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick126 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Nice patience on Blake Fisher, who had no business lasting to the 126th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick154 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Billy Bowman Jr. at slot 154 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick234 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
Somehow Ricky Pearsall was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Blake Watson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Blake Watson. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
