Draft Grade — Texans

The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Nobody had David Ugwoegbu this high, and it is not close. The Texans reached 77 spots to get him at the 247th pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get juice off the edge, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at No. 58 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malachi Corley in pick 90. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at the 126th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They went early on Ty'Ron Hopper in the 163rd overall pick, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239 Rnd7 Blake Watson
A tidy little value on Blake Watson in pick No. 239, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 David Ugwoegbu
Value said wait; David Ugwoegbu in the 247th overall pick says they were not listening. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
