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 Ty'Ron Hopper at the 124th pick, roughly 53 spots before his name belonged.

Mitchell falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Green pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback still on the board.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a cornerstone up front, outstanding value to boot.
Pick24 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In No. 24 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They robbed the room for Ennis Rakestraw Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick59 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Circle this one: Adonai Mitchell at the 59th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
They liked Leonard Taylor III enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 86. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Calen Bullock at the 87th pick is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick124 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
Value said wait; Ty'Ron Hopper in the 124th overall pick says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Renardo Green in Round 4, Pick 28 leaves quarterback for later.
Pick236 Rnd7 Tip Reiman
They let Tip Reiman come to them and pounced at pick No. 236. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in No. 245 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick250 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Trevin Wallace at pick 250. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
