Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Texans lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

The phones were a trap the Texans kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

Abrams-Draine has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They took Xavier Worthy at par in the 47th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in slot 58 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick63 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the 63rd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at No. 90 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at pick 94 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick107 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
By-the-book stuff, Leonard Taylor III at pick No. 107 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick123 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick126 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at slot 126 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Austin Booker
A clean, defensible pick in the 163rd pick with a little surplus value in Austin Booker. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They liked Dwight McGlothern enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 19. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan in pick No. 247 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
