Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B.

Every other box got a look, but interior defensive lineman did not. The Texans will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

On value alone, Cooper makes the weekend a net positive. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey in pick 42 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Edgerrin Cooper at the 59th overall pick is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brandon Dorlus in No. 86. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones slipping to Round 4, Pick 23 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
By-the-book stuff, Isaac Guerendo at the 127th pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247 Rnd7 KT Leveston
A tidy little value on KT Leveston in slot 247, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
