Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Texans.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Kendall Milton slide 37 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They will need Ceaser to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Somehow Terrion Arnold was still sitting there in the 42nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick59 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They barely believed it either: Brian Thomas Jr. still on the board at No. 59. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the 86th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
They will replay Matt Goncalves at pick No. 123 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick127 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
They reached into another round for Nelson Ceaser, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
You do not let a safety like Tykee Smith reach No. 188 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick238 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton in Round 7, Pick 18 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Circle this one: Tatum Bethune at pick 247 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Edefuan Ulofoshio in the 252nd pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
