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

The Texans did not so much draft Eyabi Okie-Anoma as overpay for him, 145 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

They banked enough surplus on Wilson to cover a lot of smaller sins. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 27 they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick53 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They liked Edgerrin Cooper enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 53. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They will replay Patrick Paul at pick No. 88 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in pick 121 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at Round 4, Pick 27 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick158 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Circle this one: Cam Hart at the 158th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick239 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
Eyabi Okie-Anoma at Round 7, Pick 19 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick242 Rnd7 Storm Duck
A big swing on Storm Duck at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
