Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Fitzgerald should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Ryan Fitzgerald, the No. 117 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 7 slot. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in the Round 1 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
You do not let an offensive lineman like Tyler Booker reach the 58th pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Value with a capital V on Omarr Norman-Lott in slot 89, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Dylan Sampson in pick 127, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick167 Rnd5 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the 167th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick243 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in Round 7, Pick 27 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
