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

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Texans took Myles Cole at Round 4, Pick 28, roughly 95 spots before his name belonged.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Benson. The Texans indulged a want in Arnold while a need in quarterback stayed open.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick 23 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a lockdown presence outside. More want than need.
Pick41 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
A curious use of the 41st overall pick. Quarterback needed the pick; a cornerback in Terrion Arnold did not.
Pick58 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Taking Adonai Mitchell in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Junior Colson at pick No. 59 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 86 on Mike Sainristil with quarterback unsolved.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at the 87th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124 Rnd4 Trey Benson
A running back of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128 Rnd4 Myles Cole
They left a pile of value on the table to take Myles Cole this early at slot 128. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Trey Knox
Trey Knox at pick No. 236 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Trevin Wallace at the 245th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A tidy bit of business in No. 250, where Brevyn Spann-Ford graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
