Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
The Texans worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The real work happened on the phones. The Texans fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Wright has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In pick 27 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in No. 40 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick50 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They liked Edgerrin Cooper enough to skip the value, taking him in the 50th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick69 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 5 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104 Rnd4 James Williams
They reached into another round for James Williams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaylen Wright. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They jumped the gun on Ben Sinnott, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at pick No. 131 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick213 Rnd6 Maurice Smith
Maurice Smith in the 213th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
