Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B- to prove it.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Baylor Cupp; the Texans did not wait, grabbing him 94 spots ahead at pick 252. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Cooper.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Adonai Mitchell at slot 42. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 59 is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86 Rnd3 DJ James
A tidy little value on DJ James in the 86th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick123 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
A real head-scratcher, Mason McCormick in No. 123 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Fabien Lovett
They reached into another round for Fabien Lovett, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They paid a round early for Curtis Jacobs in Round 6, Pick 13, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A quiet steal in pick No. 238: Frank Gore Jr. for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick252 Rnd7 Baylor Cupp
Baylor Cupp at pick 252 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
