Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureD-
The Texans fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Texans shredded theirs for Ty'Ron Hopper. He came off 53 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Mims pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Spending an early pick on cornerback with interior defensive lineman open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 23 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick24 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 24th pick they get juice off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in the 41st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman to take Ennis Rakestraw Jr., a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick59 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Taking Amarius Mims in slot 59 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Calen Bullock in pick 86. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick87 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Blake Fisher at the Round 3 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ty'Ron Hopper well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
A curious use of No. 128. Interior defensive lineman needed the pick; a safety in Malik Mustapha did not.
Pick236 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. is a better player than Round 7, Pick 16 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tip Reiman
The board fumbled Tip Reiman all the way to the 245th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick250 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
A real head-scratcher, Sam Hartman in pick 250 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
