Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB FutureD-
A mixed bag for the Texans, and a C+ to match.

The Texans clearly saw something nobody else did in Cody Simon, taking him 41 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. The final tally is a middling C+.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick No. 25 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
A reach for Cameron Williams in slot 58; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Deone Walker
No drama and no debate, Deone Walker went about where he belonged in No. 79. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Miles Frazier
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Miles Frazier well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at pick 91 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
A clean, defensible pick in the 129th overall pick with a little surplus value in Cobee Bryant. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at slot 174 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
