Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 59 lands the Texans a B, Franklin and all.

The board owed the Texans one, and it paid up: Troy Franklin, the No. 33 name on the board, sitting there at No. 59 like a gift left on the doorstep.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
They let Cooper DeJean come to them and pounced at the 42nd overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick59 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 59 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Maason Smith
A slide stopped in pick No. 123, with Maason Smith worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They took Isaac Guerendo at par in pick 127, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jaheim Bell
The board fumbled Jaheim Bell all the way to No. 188, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Value with a capital V on Trevin Wallace in the 247th pick, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
