Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans land in the muddy middle: C+.

Some picks age like wine; T'Vondre Sweat at pick 23 will need to, sitting 35 spots clear of his grade. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The James pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

So much rides on T'Vondre Sweat that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In the 23rd pick they get a disruptive interior force, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
A real head-scratcher, Roman Wilson in pick No. 59 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
No drama and no debate, Bucky Irving went about where he belonged in the 85th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 DJ James
DJ James slid further than he should have, and pick 124 is lovely value for the cornerback. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
By-the-book stuff, James Williams at slot 128 squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
