Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B-.

The Texans spent real capital to be 84 picks early on Logan Lee, and the board is going to hold them to it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

However the rest shakes out, Odunze at that price is a win they earned. A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Payton Wilson in slot 59. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86 Rnd3 Max Melton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Max Melton in Round 3, Pick 23. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick123 Rnd4 Myles Cole
Value said wait; Myles Cole in pick No. 123 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Logan Lee
They talked themselves into Logan Lee at pick 127, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Frank Gore Jr. at No. 224, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
They went early on Tyler Owens in pick No. 238, and the value did not follow. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick247 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They liked Sam Hartman enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 7 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
