Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Texans did not so much draft Isaac Guerendo as overpay for him, 30 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
They paid sticker price for Quinyon Mitchell in the Round 1 slot, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Good price on Edgerrin Cooper in the 59th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Malachi Corley in slot 85. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in pick 124 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at the 128th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at pick No. 161 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nathaniel Watson well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at pick No. 245 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
