Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Baker from sliding. Grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Javon Baker, the No. 91 name on the board, stolen at the Round 4 slot.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Reaching for Owens left real value on the table behind him. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at slot 42 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick59 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Steal is underselling it; Adonai Mitchell at pick No. 59 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at pick 86 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Javon Baker
Taking Javon Baker in Round 4, Pick 23 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in the 127th pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick188 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
They liked Tyler Owens enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 247. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
