Draft Grade — Texans
Overall
C+
ValueF
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Texans, and a C+ to match. The Texans treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 28 on Monroe Freeling a full 81 spots early. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.
For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Parker pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Monroe Freeling
In the 28th overall pick they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick38
Rnd2
T.J. Parker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing T.J. Parker in Round 2, Pick 6. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59
Rnd2
Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price at the 59th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
