Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Simpson from sliding. Grade: D.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Texans, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The Smith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Trey Smith gives the group a proven body among the projects. Job largely done: running back settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze in No. 42 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick 43 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jaylen Wright
They went early on Jaylen Wright in the 59th pick, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at pick No. 63 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick64 Rnd2 Cade Stover
A conviction pick on Cade Stover at slot 64 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A premium they did not need to pay, Christian Mahogany a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in No. 94 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123 Rnd4 James Williams
No drama and no debate, James Williams went about where he belonged in the 123rd pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at Round 4, Pick 24 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick127 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
They liked Michael Pratt enough to skip the value, taking him in the 127th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
You do not let a cornerback like Jaylin Simpson reach slot 188 and blink. They did not. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kalen DeLoach
They took Kalen DeLoach at par in pick 247, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
