Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Texans: C+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Khristian Boyd, 51 picks early at slot 128. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Hit on Terrion Arnold and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
No drama and no debate, Terrion Arnold went about where he belonged in the 23rd pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick59 Rnd2 Malik Washington
A wild overpay on Malik Washington in Round 2, Pick 27, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at pick 86 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick124 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at the 124th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick128 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
A real head-scratcher, Khristian Boyd in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
They reached a country mile for Jawhar Jordan at pick No. 236, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
They let Trevin Wallace come to them and pounced at slot 245. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick250 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
By-the-book stuff, Matthew Jones at Round 7, Pick 30 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
