Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Texans: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Texans took Myles Murphy at the 128th pick, roughly 90 spots before his name belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Barrett value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner, reach and all.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in No. 47 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 Malik Washington
Malik Washington at Round 3, Pick 12 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick124 Rnd4 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
No edge and no loss on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in slot 124; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick128 Rnd4 Myles Murphy
They talked themselves into Myles Murphy at the 128th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in pick 236 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245 Rnd7 KT Leveston
KT Leveston is a better player than the 245th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick250 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They paid sticker price for Joshua Cephus in the 250th overall pick, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
