Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

The Texans put a flag in the ground for Maason Smith, 32 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The Texans indulged a want in Smith while a need in interior defensive lineman and quarterback stayed open. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a disruptor off the edge, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick53 Rnd2 Maason Smith
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman and quarterback to take Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick88 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A straight-up fair deal on Malachi Corley at pick No. 88, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Good price on Donovan Jackson in No. 121, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
They took Jaden Hicks at par in slot 127, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick158 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A conviction pick on Ty'Ron Hopper at the 158th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Blake Watson
They did well to land Blake Watson in the 239th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick242 Rnd7 Erick All
The board had cheaper options than Erick All at pick 242, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
