Overall B

ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-

The Texans robbed the room for Perkins Jr.. Final grade: B.

The Texans did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Harold Perkins Jr. fell into slot 241. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick25 Rnd1 Luther Burden III

In pick No. 25 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.

Pick57 Rnd2 Malaki Starks

Malaki Starks at No. 57 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.

Pick89 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson

No edge and no loss on Donovan Jackson in pick 89; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.

Pick126 Rnd4 Barrett Carter

They barely believed it either: Barrett Carter still on the board at the 126th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.

Pick164 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins

Quinshon Judkins in the 164th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
