Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Texans worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Texans spent pick 176 on Christian Jones, a name most had 32 spots down the list.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

McClellan falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 31st overall pick they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick63 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A reasonable price with a little left over, T'Vondre Sweat in slot 63. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at pick 85 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at the 124th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
No edge and no loss on James Williams in No. 128; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick161 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
A reach on LaDarius Henderson in slot 161; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick176 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They talked themselves into Christian Jones at Round 6, Pick 1, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A wild overpay on Nathaniel Watson in the 236th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jase McClellan at the 245th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
