Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureC-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Pritchett: D-.

The Texans lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

Hunt has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Pritchett. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

Trey Smith gives the group a proven body among the projects.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at pick No. 42 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick43 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
They read the board right and Ladd McConkey was the payoff at pick 43. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin in slot 59 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick63 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Circle this one: Ja'Tavion Sanders at the 63rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks in Round 2, Pick 32 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
A straight-up fair deal on Gabriel Murphy at the 86th pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
A reach for Leonard Taylor III in the 94th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They paid sticker price for Christian Mahogany in pick 95, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They did well to land Javon Foster in No. 123, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A slide stopped in slot 124, with Cedric Gray worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at Round 4, Pick 32 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188 Rnd6 Nehemiah Pritchett
They will replay Nehemiah Pritchett at pick No. 188 for years; that is how good the value is. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick247 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in the 247th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
