Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Texans lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

The Texans treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 243 on Marvin Jones Jr. a full 92 spots early. It lands right in the middle: a C, no more, no less.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

However the rest shakes out, Love at that price is a win they earned. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Hit on Jeremiyah Love and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
Value with a capital V on Jeremiyah Love in the 18th pick, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in the 38th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick81 Rnd3 Michael Trigg
They talked themselves into Michael Trigg at slot 81, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at Round 5, Pick 26 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick165 Rnd5 Treydan Stukes
They read the board right and Treydan Stukes was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick243 Rnd7 Marvin Jones Jr.
Marvin Jones Jr. at pick No. 243 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at slot 244 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
