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

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Texans did exactly that with Eyabi Okie-Anoma in No. 242.

Landing Coleman that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Leonard Taylor III
They paid up for Leonard Taylor III at pick No. 27 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick53 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
They barely believed it either: Keon Coleman still on the board at slot 53. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
A quiet steal in the 88th overall pick: Johnny Wilson for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121 Rnd4 Max Melton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Max Melton in No. 121. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick127 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade slipping to Round 4, Pick 27 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick158 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They liked Ty'Ron Hopper enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson in pick No. 239 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick242 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
Eyabi Okie-Anoma at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
