Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Texans worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The Texans went off the board in a big way for Tyler Davis, 40 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Evan Neal deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

The Mitchell pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 32 they get a sticky cover corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks at slot 40 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at the 76th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94 Rnd3 Malik Washington
They paid sticker price for Malik Washington in Round 3, Pick 31, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
They let James Williams come to them and pounced at No. 128. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick146 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at the 146th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick176 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nathaniel Watson well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick236 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
A premium they did not need to pay, LaDarius Henderson a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
