Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureD-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Texans to a D-.

The Ty'Ron Hopper pick is the one that will follow the Texans into the fall. They took him 49 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. However the rest shakes out, Rosemy-Jacksaint at that price is a win they earned.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 23 they get an anchor for the offensive line at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at No. 41 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at the 58th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 27 with a little surplus value in Ruke Orhorhoro. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in the 86th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A premium they did not need to pay, Trey Benson a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
No drama and no debate, Mohamed Kamara went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
Value said wait; Ty'Ron Hopper in pick No. 128 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They will replay Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at No. 236 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Owens in slot 245. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick250 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the 250th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
