Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Texans a B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Texans took Justin Rogers at Round 4, Pick 23, roughly 38 spots before his name belonged.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In No. 23 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at slot 59 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick96 Rnd3 Sataoa Laumea
They reached a country mile for Sataoa Laumea at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at pick No. 116 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers in Round 4, Pick 23 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley at the 127th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in slot 164 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
