Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureD-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Corum: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Blake Corum, Round 4, Pick 28, roughly 42 picks past where he belonged.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher and quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 23rd overall pick they get a load in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
A tidy little value on Quinyon Mitchell in pick 24, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They took Edgerrin Cooper at par in pick No. 41, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Taking Brian Thomas Jr. in slot 58 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Payton Wilson in the 59th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in Round 3, Pick 23 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
They read the board right and Calen Bullock was the payoff at No. 87. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick124 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Renardo Green in the Round 4 slot leaves edge rusher and quarterback for later.
Pick128 Rnd4 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at the 128th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They robbed the room for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trey Knox
Trey Knox at the 245th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
The board fumbled Tyler Owens all the way to pick 250, and they scooped it up. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
