Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
The Texans got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

The Texans torched the value chart for Jaylan Ford, taking him 65 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Harris. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman and tight end.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In slot 24 they get a bendy edge with upside, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25 Rnd1 JC Latham
Value with a capital V on JC Latham in the Round 1 slot, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick33 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in the 33rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick53 Rnd2 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at Round 2, Pick 21 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A curious use of the 73rd pick. Interior defensive lineman and tight end needed the pick; a DT-EDGE in Maason Smith did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 James Williams
James Williams in pick 95 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick121 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They did well to land Khyree Jackson in pick No. 121, just ahead of his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jaylan Ford
They talked themselves into Jaylan Ford at Round 4, Pick 24, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick158 Rnd5 Christian Mahogany
They left a pile of value on the table to take Christian Mahogany this early at pick 158. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tre Harris
They robbed the room for Tre Harris here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick242 Rnd7 Phil Jurkovec
A big swing on Phil Jurkovec at the 242nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
