Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Texans: B.

The tape said wait; the Texans did not. Jordan Jefferson went at the 127th overall pick, a good 56 picks before the board was ready. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Thomas Jr.. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold at No. 42 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick59 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Somehow Brian Thomas Jr. was still sitting there in the 59th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at slot 86 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at the 123rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jordan Jefferson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Jefferson in pick No. 127, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in Round 6, Pick 13 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
A quiet steal in No. 247: Trevin Wallace for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
