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

The rest of the league had time to spare on Khristian Boyd; the Texans did not wait, grabbing him 51 spots ahead at pick No. 128.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Leveston pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most. The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
By-the-book stuff, Adonai Mitchell at pick 33 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Payton Wilson in Round 2, Pick 27. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James in slot 86 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick92 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Benson at the 92nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 James Williams
Fair-plus on James Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick128 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
They talked themselves into Khristian Boyd at No. 128, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick245 Rnd7 KT Leveston
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and KT Leveston at Round 7, Pick 25 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edefuan Ulofoshio. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
