Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Texans a B-.

Nobody had Devin Culp this high, and it is not close. The Texans reached 84 spots to get him at slot 247. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick No. 23 they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Somehow Keon Coleman was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
A reach for Leonard Taylor III in No. 86; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Renardo Green at Round 4, Pick 22. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at pick 126 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224 Rnd7 Elijah Jones
Circle this one: Elijah Jones at slot 224 is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick238 Rnd7 KT Leveston
KT Leveston at No. 238 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247 Rnd7 Devin Culp
This one needs a full-page explanation: Devin Culp in the Round 7 slot, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
