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

Some picks age like wine; KeAndre Lambert-Smith at No. 89 will need to, sitting 105 spots clear of his grade. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Landing Brown that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 25 they get a load in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ozzy Trapilo
They reached a country mile for Ozzy Trapilo at pick No. 58, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at the 79th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith at the 89th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They will replay Logan Brown at Round 5, Pick 28 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick236 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
They paid up for Marcus Yarns at slot 236 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick241 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They reached into another round for Garrett Dellinger, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
