Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Sabb: B-.

Call it larceny. Keon Sabb sat on the board until No. 155, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in Round 2, Pick 9 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick56 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
They paid sticker price for Josh Conerly Jr. in pick 56, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at No. 88 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick120 Rnd4 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at the 120th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155 Rnd5 Keon Sabb
Somehow Keon Sabb was still sitting there in the 155th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick216 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels in pick No. 216 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
