Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Tampa from sliding. Grade: B.

When a board-topper like T.J. Tampa slides to pick No. 86, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not.

Lee has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Chop Robinson in slot 42, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A quiet steal in pick 59: Edgerrin Cooper for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
Somehow T.J. Tampa was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at the 123rd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Blake Fisher at Round 4, Pick 27 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick188 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at No. 188 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
The board fumbled Frank Gore Jr. all the way to pick No. 247, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
