Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B to prove it.

There is a lot to like until you notice wide receiver is still a hole. The Texans never got to the one that mattered most. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Brownlee Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A tidy little value on Jordan Morgan in No. 42, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick59 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
No edge and no loss on Braden Fiske in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A straight-up fair deal on Blake Corum at pick No. 86, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. slipping to pick 123 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick127 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at the 127th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. A need, and now a little less of one.
