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

The Texans did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint fell into No. 247.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. If Smith pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Hart pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
A cornerback of that caliber at the 42nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick59 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Somehow Troy Franklin was still sitting there in pick No. 59, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They reached a country mile for Maason Smith at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They paid sticker price for Isaac Guerendo in the 123rd pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cam Hart
A want over a need in No. 127: Cam Hart adds a cornerback while edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick188 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
They robbed the room for Marist Liufau here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at Round 7, Pick 27 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
