Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Bailey. Final grade: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Emani Bailey, the No. 209 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 245. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The cost of the Baker reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In pick 23 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
No drama and no debate, Javon Bullard went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick86 Rnd3 Javon Baker
They went early on Javon Baker in the 86th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
They paid sticker price for McKinnley Jackson in slot 124, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Nehemiah Pritchett
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Nehemiah Pritchett at cornerback with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in Round 7, Pick 16 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Emani Bailey
You do not let a running back like Emani Bailey reach pick No. 245 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick250 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Garret Greenfield in No. 250, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
