Draft Grade — Texans

Good, not great, for the Texans: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Omarion Hampton, the No. 31 name on the board, stolen at Round 2, Pick 26.

They are betting Simpkins III proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In slot 25 they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Somehow Omarion Hampton was still sitting there in pick 58, and they pounced on premier running back value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A quiet steal in pick 79: Tate Ratledge for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at Round 3, Pick 25 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at No. 166 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III in slot 236 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
You do not let a safety like Akili Arnold reach pick No. 241 and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
