Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Puni. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Dominick Puni sat on the board until pick 127, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They are betting Briningstool proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 27 they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick53 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A conviction pick on Edgerrin Cooper at the 53rd pick that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Value with a capital V on Payton Wilson in the 88th overall pick, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121 Rnd4 Donovan Edwards
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Donovan Edwards in pick No. 121, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
You do not let an offensive lineman like Dominick Puni reach slot 127 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick158 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at Round 5, Pick 22 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick239 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
They liked Jake Briningstool enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 242. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
