Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Texans let Bullard fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Javon Bullard slide 26 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The bottom line is a respectable B.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In slot 23 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in Round 2, Pick 12 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Javon Bullard in pick 86, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick124 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They did well to land Javon Foster in pick No. 124, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
No drama and no debate, Cedric Gray went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick236 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They read the board right and Frank Gore Jr. was the payoff at the 236th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trey Knox
A slide stopped in the 245th pick, with Trey Knox worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick250 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Ryan Watts at No. 250 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
