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

The war room fell hard for Frank Gore Jr., and it showed at Round 5, Pick 36: 52 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Rakestraw Jr.. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In the 32nd overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A reach for Xavier Worthy in slot 40; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They barely believed it either: Ennis Rakestraw Jr. still on the board at pick 67. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick125 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
They reached a country mile for Mason McCormick at the 125th pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at Round 4, Pick 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Frank Gore Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick192 Rnd6 Tyler Owens
Value said wait; Tyler Owens in pick No. 192 says they were not listening. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick250 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Ryan Watts in slot 250 is fair value, right on his grade. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
