Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Baker: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Javon Baker slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at Round 4, Pick 23. Highway robbery. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Smith pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at the 42nd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick59 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Steal is underselling it; Adonai Mitchell at the 59th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at slot 86 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123 Rnd4 Javon Baker
You do not let a wide receiver like Javon Baker reach Round 4, Pick 23 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They took Isaac Guerendo at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 188 with a little surplus value in Ty'Ron Hopper. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at pick 247 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
