Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B-.

The Texans spent real capital to be 91 picks early on Xavier Thomas, and the board is going to hold them to it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Watson.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 23rd pick they get a sticky cover corner, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Roman Wilson in slot 85. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at pick No. 123 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at Round 4, Pick 27 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick164 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in the 164th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Value with a capital V on Blake Watson in the 239th overall pick, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
A real head-scratcher, Tanner McLachlan in slot 248 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
