Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesA- FutureD
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Texans.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jacob Rodriguez in the Round 4 slot, a good 43 spots before the room expected him. The final tally is a middling C+.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get an anchor for the offensive line, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in slot 37 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick53 Rnd2 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at pick No. 53 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Good price on Harold Perkins Jr. in No. 108, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in the 121st overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162 Rnd5 Le'Veon Moss
They talked themselves into Le'Veon Moss at pick 162, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237 Rnd7 Bear Alexander
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bear Alexander this early at slot 237. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
They liked Pat Coogan enough to skip the value, taking him in the 241st overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
