Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Abrams-Draine from sliding. Grade: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Kris Abrams-Draine at No. 123 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The cost of the Watson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at pick 42 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
No edge and no loss on Kiran Amegadjie in pick No. 59; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick123 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in the 123rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick127 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
No drama and no debate, Johnny Wilson went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 27. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Logan Lee
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Logan Lee. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick238 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Good price on Michael Barrett in No. 238, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at slot 247 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick252 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at No. 252 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
