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

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Texans spent Round 7, Pick 27 on Kedon Slovis, a name the board had a full 58 spots lower.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Torrence falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in pick No. 45 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick59 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at the 59th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick86 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They paid sticker price for Dominick Puni in No. 86, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Will Shipley
They took Will Shipley at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at slot 123 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash in Round 4, Pick 27 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
The board had Ro Torrence higher than Round 6, Pick 13, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They went early on Jaylan Ford in No. 197, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kedon Slovis. A need, and now a little less of one.
