Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD-
Nobody dealt better than the Texans this weekend: B.

The Texans bet big and early on Nazir Stackhouse, 39 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Getting Hampton where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In slot 18 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A running back of that caliber at No. 58 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
No edge and no loss on Ozzy Trapilo in pick 79; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at the 89th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in pick No. 166 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the linebacker. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
A reach for Hayden Conner in the 241st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
