Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Texans this weekend: D+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Texans took Frank Gore Jr. at Round 6, Pick 13, roughly 41 spots before his name belonged.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Landing Jones that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A clean, defensible pick in pick 42 with a little surplus value in Jordan Morgan. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at slot 59 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
They paid up for DeWayne Carter at the 86th pick when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A slide stopped in No. 87, with Mike Sainristil worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick127 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
They paid sticker price for Beaux Limmer in Round 4, Pick 27, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
By-the-book stuff, Mohamed Kamara at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Javion Cohen. The roster fit checks out.
Pick188 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 188 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Taking Sheridan Jones in pick 247 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
