Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Texans a B-.

The David Oke pick is the one that will follow the Texans into the fall. They took him 31 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Banks pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In the 11th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick42 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks is a better player than pick 42 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard in pick No. 70 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112 Rnd4 Justin Joly
Justin Joly in Round 4, Pick 12 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick118 Rnd4 David Oke
They reached into another round for David Oke, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
Nothing to complain about; Iapani Laloulu went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Robert Spears-Jennings. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick248 Rnd7 Alex Birchmeier
They jumped the gun on Alex Birchmeier, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
