Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Hampton from sliding. Grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Omarion Hampton, the 59th overall pick, roughly 28 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Wilson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 25th pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, outstanding value to boot.
Pick59 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at No. 59 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Charles Grant
The board had cheaper options than Charles Grant at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in pick 89 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick129 Rnd4 Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike in slot 129 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Nick Nash
A tidy bit of business in the 166th overall pick, where Nick Nash graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick176 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey at Round 5, Pick 38 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They read the board right and Carson Vinson was the payoff at pick No. 236. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Isaac TeSlaa at pick 241 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
