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

The war room fell hard for Jared Wiley, and it showed at the 247th overall pick: 43 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. They banked enough surplus on Turner to cover a lot of smaller sins. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick No. 23 they get a disruptor off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
They took Javon Bullard at par in the 58th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick90 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cooper Beebe in pick 90, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A reach on Javon Foster in slot 123; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the 126th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They talked themselves into Michael Barrett at No. 163, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Whittington. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jared Wiley well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
