Good, not great, for the Texans: B-.

The Keilan Robinson pick is the one that will follow the Texans into the fall. They took him 57 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. On value alone, Bethune makes the weekend a net positive. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
No edge and no loss on Kris Jenkins in slot 42; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick59 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They took Xavier Worthy at par in pick No. 59, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86 Rnd3 DJ James
A tidy little value on DJ James in the 86th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick123 Rnd4 James Williams
No drama and no debate, James Williams went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 23. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick127 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ben Sinnott. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Myles Cole
A premium they did not need to pay, Myles Cole a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
The board had cheaper options than Jalen Sundell at the 238th pick, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune at Round 7, Pick 27 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252 Rnd7 Keilan Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Keilan Robinson in No. 252 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
