Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureC+
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Everything else got attention, and edge rusher got none. That is a strange way for the Texans to leave a draft.

Sainristil falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 42 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick59 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
No drama and no debate, Braden Fiske went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Mike Sainristil at the 86th overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick104 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
A straight-up fair deal on Braelon Allen at Round 4, Pick 4, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in No. 127 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at pick 188 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker at slot 247 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
