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

Nobody had Malik Mustapha this high, and it is not close. The Texans reached 28 spots to get him at the Round 4 slot.

That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 23 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In slot 30 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
A premium they did not need to pay, Byron Murphy II a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick62 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in pick 62 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in the 90th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at No. 123 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick126 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
This one needs a full-page explanation: Malik Mustapha in pick No. 126, miles early. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick163 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They reached into another round for Zion Tupuola-Fetui, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick167 Rnd5 De'Corian Clark
A real head-scratcher, De'Corian Clark in the 167th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at slot 239 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Phil Jurkovec
Phil Jurkovec in No. 247 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
