Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B- to prove it.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Texans shredded theirs for Logan Lee. He came off 23 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Getting Melton where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They went early on Ruke Orhorhoro in the 59th overall pick, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick86 Rnd3 Max Melton
Value with a capital V on Max Melton in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick123 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Johnny Wilson at slot 123 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at pick No. 127 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Logan Lee
A wild overpay on Logan Lee in Round 6, Pick 13, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A real head-scratcher, Joshua Cephus in the 247th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
