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

The Texans spent real capital to be 62 picks early on Darius Robinson, and the board is going to hold them to it. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Melton pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Darius Robinson in No. 59, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the 85th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick123 Rnd4 Max Melton
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 4 slot on Max Melton with interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick127 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley in slot 127 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
