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

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

The DeJean steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The Ford pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
They read the board right and Cooper DeJean was the payoff at the 42nd overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kamren Kinchens. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick86 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at pick No. 86 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at the 123rd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Good price on Theo Johnson in Round 4, Pick 27, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Value said wait; Jaylan Ford in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable is a better player than slot 247 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
