Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Texans: B-.

The Texans went off the board in a big way for Jordan Jefferson, 60 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That Rakestraw Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

It is not that Rakestraw Jr. is a bad player; it is that the Texans had louder needs to answer first.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
A quiet steal in the 42nd overall pick: Cooper DeJean for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick59 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at slot 59 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86 Rnd3 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 86 on Ennis Rakestraw Jr. with edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at pick 123 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They paid sticker price for Isaac Guerendo in pick No. 127, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
A tidy little value on Ty'Ron Hopper in Round 6, Pick 13, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at slot 247 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
