Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Texans a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Texans spent slot 247 on Blake Watson, a name the board had a full 41 spots lower.

The McKinstry value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

With wide receiver, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at pick No. 42 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick59 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick 59 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Mike Sainristil adds a cornerback and leaves wide receiver, offensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick123 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
No edge and no loss on Theo Johnson in Round 4, Pick 23; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
A wild overpay on Jalyx Hunt in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick188 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at No. 188 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Blake Watson
A real head-scratcher, Blake Watson in the 247th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
