Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureD-
The Texans let Coleman fall into their laps, and walked away with a D-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Texans did exactly that with Ty'Ron Hopper in slot 128.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Coleman. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 23 they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick24 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Somehow Nate Wiggins was still sitting there in the 41st overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick58 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
They paid up for Mike Sainristil at No. 58 when waiting would have done the job. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick59 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A reach for Patrick Paul in pick 59; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in the 86th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
Taking Keon Coleman in the 87th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Trey Benson
They will replay Trey Benson at slot 124 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick236 Rnd7 Trey Knox
They took Trey Knox at par in No. 236, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at Round 7, Pick 25 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick250 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sam Hartman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
