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

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Caedan Wallace, the No. 213 name on the board, in the 247th overall pick. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Hall reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at pick No. 42 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in pick 59 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the 86th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
No drama and no debate, Isaac Guerendo went about where he belonged in pick 123. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
A big swing on Jalyx Hunt at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick188 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A real head-scratcher, Gabe Hall in pick No. 188 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
They barely believed it either: Caedan Wallace still on the board at No. 247. A need, and now a little less of one.
