Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B-.

The LaDarius Henderson selection is the head-turner. The Texans reached 74 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Coleman pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick 23 they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick64 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in Round 2, Pick 32 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bralen Trice. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick128 Rnd4 Fabien Lovett
They went early on Fabien Lovett in slot 128, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in the 172nd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick236 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A slide stopped in the Round 7 slot, with Tyler Owens worth more than the price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
