Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Jenkins: B.

Call it larceny. Kris Jenkins sat on the board until slot 86, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: running back settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at the 42nd overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper slid further than he should have, and No. 59 is lovely value for the linebacker. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kris Jenkins
The board fumbled Kris Jenkins all the way to pick 86, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Value with a capital V on Blake Fisher in the 127th pick, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
Nothing to complain about; Tip Reiman went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at slot 247 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
