Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B-.

The Texans spent real capital to be 71 picks early on Myles Cole, and the board is going to hold them to it. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 23rd overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
No drama and no debate, Kiran Amegadjie went about where he belonged in the 59th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Leonard Taylor III. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They paid sticker price for Johnny Wilson in pick No. 123, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Myles Cole
Myles Cole in No. 127 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
No edge and no loss on Frank Gore Jr. in Round 7, Pick 4; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens in slot 238 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick247 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They reached a country mile for Joshua Cephus at the 247th pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
