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

There is a lot to like until you notice wide receiver is still a hole. The Texans never got to the one that mattered most.

The Robinson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Reaching for Gray left real value on the table behind him.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 26th overall pick they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They took Cooper Beebe at par in slot 49, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick92 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dominick Puni. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A conviction pick on Cedric Gray at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 AJ Barner
Good price on AJ Barner in pick 126, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick154 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in pick No. 154 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
