Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC- FutureC
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Texans: C+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Eyabi Okie-Anoma, 33 picks early at Round 7, Pick 32.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice. The Melton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Hit on T'Vondre Sweat and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A straight-up fair deal on T'Vondre Sweat at the 42nd pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They paid sticker price for Chris Braswell in pick No. 43, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
They took Kiran Amegadjie at par in the 59th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86 Rnd3 Max Melton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Max Melton at pick 86 is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick123 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
No drama and no debate, Johnny Wilson went about where he belonged in slot 123. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A tidy little value on Theo Johnson in No. 127, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick188 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee in the 188th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
They went early on Tyler Owens in the Round 7 slot, and the value did not follow. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick247 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They reached into another round for Joshua Cephus, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eyabi Okie-Anoma well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
