Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Coleman from sliding. Grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Keon Coleman slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at Round 2, Pick 27. Highway robbery. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Job largely done: running back settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at slot 23 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick59 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Nothing to complain about; Brandon Dorlus went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They read the board right and Isaac Guerendo was the payoff at No. 124. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They took Cedric Gray at par in pick 128, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
