Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Texans get a C+.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Myles Murphy at the 86th overall pick is 132 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Hit on Ennis Rakestraw Jr. and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
In No. 23 they get a potential shutdown corner, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick59 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Worthy in the 59th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86 Rnd3 Myles Murphy
They reached a country mile for Myles Murphy at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124 Rnd4 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in pick 124 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Michael Barrett
A big swing on Michael Barrett at Round 4, Pick 28, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
They paid a round early for Ryan Watts in pick No. 236, more than the board wanted. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick245 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
They paid sticker price for LaDarius Henderson in No. 245, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick250 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick 250 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
