Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Gusta should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B-.

When a board-topper like David Gusta slides to the Round 7 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Colton Hood
In the 28th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick38 Rnd2 CJ Allen
Good price on CJ Allen in slot 38, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick59 Rnd2 Joshua Josephs
A tidy bit of business in pick 59, where Joshua Josephs graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
The board had Josiah Trotter higher than No. 69, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
They did well to land Ja'Kobi Lane in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jaishawn Barham
Taking Jaishawn Barham in pick No. 141 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167 Rnd5 Isaiah World
Isaiah World at Round 5, Pick 27 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243 Rnd7 David Gusta
Circle this one: David Gusta at the 243rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
