Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Texans skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No drama and no debate, Chris Braswell went about where he belonged in pick No. 42. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59 Rnd2 DJ James
DJ James in No. 59 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick86 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick123 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They took Isaac Guerendo at par in pick 123, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, McKinnley Jackson in Round 4, Pick 27. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at the 188th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in slot 247 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
