Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Texans shredded theirs for Logan Lee. He came off 84 spots early, and the room will hear about it. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in the 59th pick with a little surplus value in Payton Wilson. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Circle this one: Mike Sainristil at pick 86 is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick123 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Johnny Wilson at Round 4, Pick 23 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Logan Lee
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Logan Lee well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick224 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at slot 224 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
They liked Tyler Owens enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 238. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick247 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A big swing on Joshua Cephus at Round 7, Pick 27, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
