Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Coleman: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Keon Coleman slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at the Round 2 slot. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Reaching for Whittington left real value on the table behind him.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick 23 they get a bendy edge with upside, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at No. 59 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James in pick No. 86 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick124 Rnd4 James Williams
A reasonable price with a little left over, James Williams in Round 4, Pick 24. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick128 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in slot 128 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at the 236th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
By-the-book stuff, Edefuan Ulofoshio at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ryan Watts. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
