Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueA+ NeedA TradesF FutureA+
Larceny in No. 235 lands the Texans a B-, Brooks and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tahj Brooks, slot 235, roughly 120 picks past where he belonged.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick235 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in pick 235 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
