Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureD-
The Texans bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

The war room fell hard for Ty'Ron Hopper, and it showed at No. 128: 49 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They will answer for taking cornerback early while offensive lineman and quarterback went begging. For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, offensive lineman very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick 23 they get a double-digit-sack hope, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick No. 24 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in slot 41. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick58 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat is a better player than the 58th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at No. 59 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Xavier Legette at the 86th overall pick is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Khyree Jackson at cornerback with offensive lineman and quarterback open.
Pick124 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Theo Johnson a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in pick No. 128 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick236 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Nice patience on Tyler Owens, who had no business lasting to slot 236. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick245 Rnd7 Blake Watson
A big swing on Blake Watson at the 245th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick250 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
