Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureC
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Texans spent the 238th overall pick on Blake Watson, a name the board had a full 50 spots lower. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will answer for taking S-EDGE early while edge rusher and tight end went begging. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 23 they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A cornerback of that caliber at the 59th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick60 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Value with a capital V on Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at pick No. 86 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at slot 123 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jalyx Hunt adds a S-EDGE and leaves edge rusher and tight end untouched.
Pick224 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in pick No. 224 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick238 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Value said wait; Blake Watson in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa in No. 247 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
