Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Texans bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Matthew Jones pick is the one that will follow the Texans into the fall. They took him 61 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 24th pick they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In pick No. 27 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Troy Franklin. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick53 Rnd2 Josh Newton
Somehow Josh Newton was still sitting there in the 53rd overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick54 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Taking Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 22 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85 Rnd3 Adonai Mitchell
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Adonai Mitchell worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in No. 86 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in pick No. 89 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A real head-scratcher, Junior Colson in the 90th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121 Rnd4 Troy Fautanu
Value with a capital V on Troy Fautanu in the 121st pick, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124 Rnd4 James Williams
They did well to land James Williams in pick 124, just ahead of his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
A tidy little value on Jaheim Bell in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jo'Quavious Marks
They barely believed it either: Jo'Quavious Marks still on the board at slot 178. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick240 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
By-the-book stuff, Fentrell Cypress II at Round 7, Pick 20 squarely in line with his ranking. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick242 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Matthew Jones well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
