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

The Texans put a flag in the ground for Khristian Boyd, 37 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In slot 23 they get a difference-maker at receiver, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A tidy little value on Mike Sainristil in the 86th pick, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick124 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
A wild overpay on Khristian Boyd in pick 124, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
They reached a country mile for Jaylen Wright at pick No. 128, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jalen Green
Jalen Green in No. 236 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trente Jones
They paid sticker price for Trente Jones in No. 245, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jack Westover
They took Jack Westover at par in pick No. 250, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
