Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Carson should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B-.

The Texans did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Caelen Carson fell into slot 127.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They paid sticker price for Edgerrin Cooper in slot 42, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick59 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in pick No. 59 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Nice patience on Renardo Green, who had no business lasting to pick 86. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
No drama and no debate, Jamari Thrash went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 23. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick188 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
No edge and no loss on Daijun Edwards in the 188th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
By-the-book stuff, Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 247th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
