Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B-.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Texans never addressed wide receiver, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Coleman falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The Lomu pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In No. 26 they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
They did well to land Kayden McDonald in pick 38, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jonah Coleman
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jonah Coleman at the Round 2 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
Brian Parker II at slot 68 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
