Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureF
Nobody dealt better than the Texans this weekend: C+.

The Julius Welschof selection is the head-turner. The Texans reached 82 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. That Wilson pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

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

So much rides on Kamari Lassiter that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
They paid sticker price for Kamari Lassiter in pick No. 23, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick24 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In No. 24 they get juice off the edge, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Good price on Xavier Legette in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick56 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They took Edgerrin Cooper at par in pick 56, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Leonard Taylor III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Leonard Taylor III in the 58th overall pick, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They robbed the room for Payton Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at pick No. 123 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick126 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Braelon Allen well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jared Wiley this early at the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Phil Jurkovec
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Phil Jurkovec in slot 239. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 Julius Welschof
A big swing on Julius Welschof at No. 247, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
