Good, not great, for the Texans: B-.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Texans walked out of the weekend still thin at edge rusher, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Arnold. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 25 they get a red-zone target to build around, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
By-the-book stuff, Jayden Higgins at pick No. 58 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the 89th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
No edge and no loss on Kyle Williams in pick 166; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
A quiet steal in the 236th overall pick: Ja'Quinden Jackson for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Akili Arnold in No. 241. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
