Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in the 212th overall pick lands the Texans a B+, Milton III and all.

Somebody in the 212th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Texans sat still while Joe Milton III, the No. 164 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Reaching for Holker left real value on the table behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 24th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
A straight-up fair deal on Adisa Isaac at Round 2, Pick 27, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick85 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Value with a capital V on Malachi Corley in the 87th overall pick, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
No edge and no loss on MarShawn Lloyd in pick No. 123; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in No. 127 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick164 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at slot 164 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in pick 212 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
