Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Texans.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Christian Jones, pick No. 236, roughly 28 picks past where he belonged.

They are betting Gentry proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 23rd overall pick they get a load in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Circle this one: Chop Robinson at pick 59 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe slipping to the 85th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kris Abrams-Draine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They liked Ben Sinnott enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 128. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 Renardo Green
Renardo Green slid further than he should have, and pick 161 is lovely value for the safety. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick236 Rnd7 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick245 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in Round 7, Pick 25 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
