Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Texans started one anyway for Kedon Slovis, 67 picks ahead of schedule. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The Bishop pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 25th overall pick they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Nothing to complain about; Braden Fiske went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in pick 86 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
They talked themselves into Theo Johnson at slot 88, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Value with a capital V on Cole Bishop in pick No. 123, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick127 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at Round 4, Pick 27 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Good price on Michael Barrett in the 224th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Ryan Cooper Jr.
A quiet steal in the 238th pick: Ryan Cooper Jr. for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kedon Slovis well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
