Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Texans a B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Texans would have aced it. McKade Mettauer at Round 7, Pick 28 is 32 spots clear of where he belonged.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Kinchens. It is not that Bishop is a bad player; it is that the Texans had louder needs to answer first.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In slot 23 they get a disruptive interior force, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kamren Kinchens in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan in the 85th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A want over a need in pick No. 123: Cole Bishop adds a safety while edge rusher and quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
They paid up for Jaheim Bell at No. 127 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick164 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the 164th pick 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.
Pick239 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
They took Nathaniel Watson at par in the 239th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248 Rnd7 McKade Mettauer
A real head-scratcher, McKade Mettauer in slot 248 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
