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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Julius Welschof at the 247th pick, a reach of 82 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The final tally is a middling C-.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. On value alone, Fisher makes the weekend a net positive.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 23rd overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick24 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick No. 24 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
They let Keon Coleman come to them and pounced at pick 33. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at No. 90 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in Round 4, Pick 23 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in pick 126 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick163 Rnd5 De'Corian Clark
A swing that ignored the value entirely, De'Corian Clark well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239 Rnd7 Carson Steele
They paid a round early for Carson Steele in the 239th pick, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 Julius Welschof
Value said wait; Julius Welschof in Round 7, Pick 27 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
