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

The Texans went off the board in a big way for Jalyx Hunt, 65 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The DeJean pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The DeJean pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots still on the board. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
You do not let a cornerback like Nate Wiggins reach No. 42 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick59 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 59 on Cooper DeJean with offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jalyx Hunt
A real head-scratcher, Jalyx Hunt in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
They will replay Jalen McMillan at the 123rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at Round 4, Pick 27 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee in pick No. 188 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace is a better player than Round 7, Pick 27 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
