The trade table was where it all came apart. The Texans shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Put together, it is a D-.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The cost of the James reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.1 · Pick 1 · Marvin Harrison Jr. · WR · rank 1
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · D.J. James · CB · rank 67
They paid up for D.J. James at pick No. 58 when waiting would have done the job. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
