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

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Myles Cole at the 124th pick is 99 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Thomas Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 24 they get a long-term starter on the line, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
You do not let a cornerback like Quinyon Mitchell reach pick 41 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick58 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Somehow Brian Thomas Jr. was still sitting there in No. 58, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in slot 59 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at the 86th overall pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in No. 87 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Myles Cole
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Myles Cole. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ty'Ron Hopper well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick236 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
A slide stopped in pick No. 236, with Tanner McLachlan worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson in the 245th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick250 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A straight-up fair deal on Joshua Cephus at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
