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

The Texans put a flag in the ground for Ben Sinnott, 20 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Chris Braswell
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a problem off the edge, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jonathon Brooks in slot 69. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Roman Wilson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They reached into another round for Jarrian Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick123 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A big swing on Ben Sinnott at pick 123, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick127 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at pick No. 127 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick147 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They paid a round early for Joe Milton III in the 147th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
