Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Texans robbed the room for Leonard. Final grade: D.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with T.J. Sanders at Round 5, Pick 10, a reach of 76 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Leonard. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Texans paired the rookies with proven help, Trey Smith leading the way.

They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
A straight-up fair deal on Colston Loveland at the 61st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick64 Rnd2 Quinshon Judkins
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Quinshon Judkins well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
A big swing on Kevin Winston Jr. at pick 69, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick93 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
By-the-book stuff, Danny Stutsman at Round 3, Pick 29 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Abdul Carter
They went early on Abdul Carter in No. 99, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Shavon Revel Jr.
Shavon Revel Jr. in the 105th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick109 Rnd4 DJ Campbell
They talked themselves into DJ Campbell at slot 109, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Somehow Tacario Davis was still sitting there in pick 130, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick145 Rnd5 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams at pick No. 145 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick148 Rnd5 T.J. Sanders
Value said wait; T.J. Sanders in the 148th pick says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dane Key
The board had cheaper options than Dane Key at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181 Rnd6 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard at pick No. 181 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick243 Rnd7 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
