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

Everything else got attention, and interior defensive lineman got none. That is a strange way for the Texans to leave a draft. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense. The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In No. 23 they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
No drama and no debate, Kingsley Suamataia went about where he belonged in the 59th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They took Bucky Irving at par in slot 90, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at Round 4, Pick 23 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at the 127th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick224 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens in pick 224 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Kenny Logan Jr. at pick No. 247 squarely in line with his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
