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

The Texans torched the value chart for Julius Welschof, taking him 92 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Coleman at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 23rd pick they get a cornerstone up front at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 27 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 85th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A reasonable price with a little left over, Mohamed Kamara in the Round 4 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
They jumped the gun on Jaheim Bell, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick164 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
They barely believed it either: Cedric Gray still on the board at pick No. 164. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Taking Malik Mustapha in slot 165 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick197 Rnd6 Blake Watson
A real head-scratcher, Blake Watson in the 197th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick239 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
They went early on Xavier Thomas in pick No. 239, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248 Rnd7 Julius Welschof
They reached into another round for Julius Welschof, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
