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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Texans would have aced it. Logan Lee at pick No. 127 is 84 spots clear of where he belonged.

The Dixon pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They will replay Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at slot 59 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at the 86th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Myles Cole
They left a pile of value on the table to take Myles Cole this early at No. 123. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 Logan Lee
Logan Lee in Round 4, Pick 27 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick224 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Frank Gore Jr.. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Taking Johnny Dixon in pick 238 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
They paid a round early for Tyrice Knight in slot 247, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
