Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Cooper: B-.

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Edgerrin Cooper, the No. 56 name on the board, in the 85th pick. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Green has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

It is not that Green is a bad player; it is that the Texans had louder needs to answer first.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In slot 23 they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Nothing to complain about; Ja'Tavion Sanders went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
They robbed the room for Edgerrin Cooper here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at the 124th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick128 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Renardo Green adds a safety and leaves interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick161 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They liked Zion Tupuola-Fetui enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 161. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at pick 236 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They paid up for Joshua Cephus at No. 245 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
