Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Texans looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Devin Culp at the Round 7 slot regardless, 57 picks early.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Jones value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
No edge and no loss on Kingsley Suamataia in No. 59; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at slot 86 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Nice patience on Elijah Jones, who had no business lasting to the 123rd pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They took Mohamed Kamara at par in pick No. 127, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A conviction pick on Jaylan Ford at Round 6, Pick 13 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Devin Culp
This one needs a full-page explanation: Devin Culp in No. 247, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
