Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Mickens fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: R.J. Mickens, the No. 214 name on the board, stolen at slot 236.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Job largely done: running back settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick 25 they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at Round 2, Pick 26 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson slid further than he should have, and the 79th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Nothing to complain about; Ozzy Trapilo went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Taking Pat Bryant in pick No. 166 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick236 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
A top-tier safety at a bargain, R.J. Mickens in slot 236, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They paid sticker price for Jamon Dumas-Johnson in No. 241, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
