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

Some picks age like wine; Mekhi Wingo at Round 2, Pick 27 will need to, sitting 48 spots clear of his grade. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Landing Rouse that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Circle this one: Quinyon Mitchell at Round 2, Pick 10 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick59 Rnd2 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at No. 59 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in pick 87 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They took Isaac Guerendo at par in the 123rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in pick No. 127 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A reach on Ty'Ron Hopper in the 174th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick188 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in No. 188 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 27 is lovely value for the linebacker. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
