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

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Texans spent pick No. 89 on Hollin Pierce, a name most had 49 spots down the list.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hancock. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jayden Higgins
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Omarr Norman-Lott
They jumped the gun on Omarr Norman-Lott, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams slid further than he should have, and pick No. 79 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in the 89th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in the 166th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in Round 7, Pick 20 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick241 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
The board had Isaac TeSlaa higher than the 241st overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
