Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B- to prove it.

The Texans torched the value chart for Blake Corum, taking him 25 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The Hadden pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A big swing on Kingsley Suamataia at pick No. 42, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick59 Rnd2 Blake Corum
They reached a country mile for Blake Corum at slot 59, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick86 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick 86 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A real head-scratcher, Tommy Eichenberg in Round 4, Pick 23 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick127 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Theo Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick188 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in No. 188 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick247 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They reached into another round for Joshua Cephus, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
