Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureD-
The Texans worked the phones like thieves and earned a B-.

The Texans treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 128 on Myles Cole a full 95 spots early. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They banked enough surplus on Wiley to cover a lot of smaller sins. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
Nothing to complain about; Byron Murphy II went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick24 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 24th overall pick they get a building block for the line, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
They robbed the room for Cooper DeJean here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Edgerrin Cooper at No. 58 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick59 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Good price on Xavier Worthy in slot 59, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in slot 87 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Value said wait; Jaheim Bell in Round 4, Pick 24 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128 Rnd4 Myles Cole
Myles Cole at No. 128 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A quiet steal in pick No. 236: Tyler Owens for less than the market said. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Jared Wiley in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Blake Watson
They reached into another round for Blake Watson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
