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

Nobody had Khristian Boyd this high, and it is not close. The Texans reached 51 spots to get him at the 128th pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Benson. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 23rd pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Nice patience on Kamren Kinchens, who had no business lasting to the 86th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick124 Rnd4 Trey Benson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Trey Benson in No. 124, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
They talked themselves into Khristian Boyd at pick No. 128, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick236 Rnd7 Trey Knox
Trey Knox at Round 7, Pick 16 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
They read the board right and Trevin Wallace was the payoff at slot 245. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250 Rnd7 KT Leveston
The board had KT Leveston higher than Round 7, Pick 30, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
