Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureD-
Nobody dealt better than the Texans this weekend: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Julius Welschof; the Texans did not wait, grabbing him 91 spots ahead at pick 248.

Landing Wilson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In pick No. 23 they get a seam-stretching tight end, outstanding value to boot.
Pick24 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In No. 24 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick25 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In slot 25 they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in the 59th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
They reached into another round for Leonard Taylor III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They did well to land Roman Wilson in the 87th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the 123rd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at the 127th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick164 Rnd5 Will Shipley
The board fumbled Will Shipley all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Phil Jurkovec
Phil Jurkovec at pick No. 239 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Julius Welschof
Julius Welschof at No. 248 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
