Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Texans took Dylan Fairchild a full 25 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at slot 25 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 58 with a little surplus value in Alfred Collins. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A big swing on Dylan Fairchild at the 79th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Charles Grant
No drama and no debate, Charles Grant went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 25. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in the 166th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
