Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB FutureB-
The Texans let Hampton fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Omarion Hampton slide 27 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They are betting Conner proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 25th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A running back of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 26 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in pick No. 79 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
They took Gunnar Helm at par in the 89th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick236 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Kobe Hudson in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
A wild overpay on Hayden Conner in slot 241, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
