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

The Texans went off the board in a big way for Roman Wilson, 24 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On value alone, Cephus makes the weekend a net positive.

Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 23rd overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, reach and all. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Roman Wilson in No. 59, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A straight-up fair deal on Junior Colson at pick No. 71, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They took Javon Foster at par in Round 4, Pick 23, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick127 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in pick 127 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in slot 164 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Myles Cole
Myles Cole in pick 239 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Joshua Cephus at the 248th pick is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
