Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Jones: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Elijah Jones, the Round 7 slot, roughly 31 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 23rd overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They let Edgerrin Cooper come to them and pounced at pick 59. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
A tidy bit of business in slot 86, where Kamren Kinchens graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 22 with a little surplus value in Tyler Davis. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at the 224th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick238 Rnd7 Trey Knox
Trey Knox at No. 238 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247 Rnd7 KT Leveston
Value with a capital V on KT Leveston in pick No. 247, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
