Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Texans a B-.

Everything else got attention, and wide receiver got none. That is a strange way for the Texans to leave a draft.

The Banks pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Caleb Banks
In the 28th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In pick No. 32 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jonah Coleman
A straight-up fair deal on Jonah Coleman at the 69th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
