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

You build a draft on nights like this. Jaxson Dart had no business being available in pick No. 155, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The cost of the Corcoran reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Harold Perkins Jr.
In No. 24 they get the heartbeat of the defense, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They read the board right and Kenneth Grant was the payoff at the 41st overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer in pick No. 56 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at slot 88 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick120 Rnd4 Nick Emmanwori
A straight-up fair deal on Nick Emmanwori at pick 120, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaxson Dart
Steal is underselling it; Jaxson Dart at the 155th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216 Rnd7 Turner Corcoran
Turner Corcoran in Round 7, Pick 24 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
