Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Baker fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Javon Baker had no business being available in pick 123, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Lee has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cooper DeJean at pick No. 42 is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They let Edgerrin Cooper come to them and pounced at pick 59. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at the 86th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Javon Baker
They robbed the room for Javon Baker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They paid sticker price for Isaac Guerendo in the 127th overall pick, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick188 Rnd6 Logan Lee
A real head-scratcher, Logan Lee in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
They paid up for Tyler Owens at Round 7, Pick 27 when waiting would have done the job. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
