Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Simeon Barrow Jr. in the 166th pick, a good 52 spots before the room expected him.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hudson. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a lead back with juice at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at pick 58 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick79 Rnd3 Miles Frazier
A wild overpay on Miles Frazier in the 79th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at slot 89 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 Simeon Barrow Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Simeon Barrow Jr. in the Round 5 slot, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
A quiet steal in the 236th pick: Phil Mafah for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Taking Kobe Hudson in No. 241 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
