Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Green should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Renardo Green slide 46 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper Beebe. It fills a real need, too.
Pick59 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Value with a capital V on Chris Braswell in No. 59, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James in slot 86 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick123 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Renardo Green in Round 4, Pick 23 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick127 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They took Johnny Wilson at par in the 127th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick188 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
They will replay Walter Rouse at the 188th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
