Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureC
The Texans let Mitchell fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Quinyon Mitchell tumbling to the Texans in the 59th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The Watson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II in slot 23 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in pick No. 59 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick60 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They read the board right and Edgerrin Cooper was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at No. 86 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Value with a capital V on Renardo Green in the 124th overall pick, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
By-the-book stuff, Mohamed Kamara at Round 4, Pick 28 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick236 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Circle this one: Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at pick 236 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick245 Rnd7 Blake Watson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Blake Watson in the 245th pick, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick250 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
They paid up for De'Corian Clark at the 250th pick when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
