Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Julius Welschof at Round 7, Pick 28 will need to, sitting 92 spots clear of his grade. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The DeJean pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 23rd pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick59 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in pick 59 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at pick No. 85 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick127 Rnd4 Will Shipley
By-the-book stuff, Will Shipley at slot 127 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick164 Rnd5 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at Round 5, Pick 28 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan in Round 7, Pick 19 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Julius Welschof
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Julius Welschof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
