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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Texans started one anyway for Blake Watson, 41 picks ahead of schedule.

For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. That Lee pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
By-the-book stuff, Ruke Orhorhoro at No. 59 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick86 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ja'Lynn Polk at the 86th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Josh Newton
A straight-up fair deal on Josh Newton at pick No. 123, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
No drama and no debate, Mohamed Kamara went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick224 Rnd7 Logan Lee
Logan Lee slipping to the 224th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A premium they did not need to pay, Tyler Owens a notch or two before his time. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick247 Rnd7 Blake Watson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Blake Watson well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
