Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Texans shredded theirs for Julius Welschof. He came off 107 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Getting Coleman where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 23rd overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in the 59th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick85 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
You do not let a wide receiver like Keon Coleman reach No. 85 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Sione Vaki
A conviction pick on Sione Vaki at pick 124 that the board grades a round light. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at pick No. 128 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Renardo Green
They let Renardo Green come to them and pounced at slot 161. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick236 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tanner McLachlan in pick No. 236, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Julius Welschof
A real head-scratcher, Julius Welschof in slot 245 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
