Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

There is a lot to like until you notice running back is still a hole. The Texans never got to the one that mattered most. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They are betting Rice proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in No. 42 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
They paid sticker price for Kamren Kinchens in pick No. 59, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick86 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in Round 4, Pick 23 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in the 127th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick188 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A conviction pick on Curtis Jacobs at slot 188 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tarheeb Still
Tarheeb Still at the 247th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
