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

The board owed the Texans one, and it paid up: Xavier Worthy, the No. 55 name on the board, sitting there at slot 86 like a gift left on the doorstep. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Owens pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at No. 42 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick59 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A straight-up fair deal on Braden Fiske at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in the 86th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in pick No. 123 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mohamed Kamara. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick188 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in slot 188 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens in the 247th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
