Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Texans a B.

Nobody had Blake Watson this high, and it is not close. The Texans reached 41 spots to get him at Round 7, Pick 27. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Robinson. The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick 23 they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Chop Robinson in the 59th pick, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at the 86th overall pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
They paid sticker price for Tyler Davis in slot 123, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Johnny Wilson at Round 4, Pick 27 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick224 Rnd7 Trey Knox
They took Trey Knox at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A reach on Tyler Owens in slot 238; the board had better options right there. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick247 Rnd7 Blake Watson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Blake Watson this early at the Round 7 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
