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

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Texans spent Round 2, Pick 27 on Michael Hall Jr., a name most had 23 spots down the list.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. That Melton pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
A wild overpay on Malachi Corley in slot 42, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick59 Rnd2 Michael Hall Jr.
They reached a country mile for Michael Hall Jr. at pick 59, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton slid further than he should have, and pick No. 86 is lovely value for the cornerback. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick123 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at No. 123 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mohamed Kamara. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at Round 6, Pick 13 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at No. 247 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
