Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Texans did exactly that with Baylor Cupp in pick 247. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
They barely believed it either: Ladd McConkey still on the board at the 59th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
You do not let a safety like Kamren Kinchens reach Round 3, Pick 23 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick123 Rnd4 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in No. 123 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
Value said wait; Khristian Boyd in slot 127 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Trente Jones in pick No. 188 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the Round 7 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Baylor Cupp
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Baylor Cupp well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at pick No. 252 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
