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

Nobody had Jordan Jefferson this high, and it is not close. The Texans reached 56 spots to get him at the 127th overall pick. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Baker. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Nice patience on Cooper DeJean, who had no business lasting to slot 42. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper is a better player than No. 59 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Benson at Round 3, Pick 23, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Javon Baker
Steal is underselling it; Javon Baker at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jordan Jefferson
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Jefferson in pick No. 127 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Logan Lee
They reached a country mile for Logan Lee at pick 188, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A reach for Tyler Owens in the 247th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
