Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Bassa: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jeffrey Bassa at Round 5, Pick 28 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. The Booker reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In the 25th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though they paid up to get him.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tre Harris at the Round 2 slot is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
They read the board right and Omarr Norman-Lott was the payoff at pick 79. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
A tidy bit of business in No. 89, where Maxwell Hairston graded well above the range. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Taking Jeffrey Bassa in Round 5, Pick 28 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick236 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
They jumped the gun on Torricelli Simpkins III, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Circle this one: Ricky White III at the 241st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
