Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Texans: C+.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Texans spent the 245th overall pick on Jayson Jones, a name the board had a full 75 spots lower.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

So much rides on T'Vondre Sweat that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In pick No. 23 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick85 Rnd3 Malik Washington
A real head-scratcher, Malik Washington in slot 85 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in the 124th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots to take James Williams, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick161 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in the 161st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 David Ugwoegbu
A reach on David Ugwoegbu in pick 236; the board had better options right there. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jayson Jones
A wild overpay on Jayson Jones in Round 7, Pick 25, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
