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

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Maason Smith at pick No. 86 is 25 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The DeJean steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
A quiet steal in the 42nd overall pick: Cooper DeJean for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Nice patience on Edgerrin Cooper, who had no business lasting to pick 59. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at the 86th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick123 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaac Guerendo. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick188 Rnd6 Logan Lee
They reached a country mile for Logan Lee at No. 188, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A reach for Tyler Owens in pick No. 247; a little patience would have been rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
