Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Texans let Pearsall fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Ricky Pearsall tumbling to the Texans in pick 238 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The Sanders pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
No edge and no loss on Keon Coleman in the 35th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 49 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick92 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A quiet steal in the 92nd overall pick: TreVeyon Henderson for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at Round 3, Pick 30 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They took Cam Hart at par in slot 103, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
They paid a round early for Tykee Smith in pick No. 117, more than the board wanted. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at pick 126 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Nice patience on Cedric Gray, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick154 Rnd5 T.J. Sanders
They reached into another round for T.J. Sanders, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
They talked themselves into Darius Robinson at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Frank Gore Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ricky Pearsall in Round 7, Pick 18, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
