Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Texans a B+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Texans shredded theirs for Jayson Jones. He came off 84 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They did well to land Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 27, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85 Rnd3 Malik Washington
A wild overpay on Malik Washington in slot 85, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 DJ James
They let DJ James come to them and pounced at the 124th pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
No drama and no debate, James Williams went about where he belonged in pick 128. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick161 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jayson Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jayson Jones this early at the 236th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They went early on Matthew Jones in slot 245, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
