DocPay75 DRAFTING FOR THETexans

Draft Grade — Texans

FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B- to prove it. It is a puzzling start. The Texans had edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots to solve and reached instead for Cam Hart, a cornerback, at slot 127.
Jackson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Keon Coleman
In pick No. 23 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59
Rnd2
Trey Benson
Trey Benson at slot 59 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Khyree Jackson in No. 85, miles early. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick123
Rnd4
James Williams
They took James Williams at par in pick 123, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick127
Rnd4
Cam Hart
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cam Hart adds a cornerback and leaves edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots untouched.
