Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Hart should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Cam Hart slide 88 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Jeffcoat pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 42 is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick59 Rnd2 Graham Barton
The board fumbled Graham Barton all the way to the 59th pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the 86th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jordan Jefferson
Value said wait; Jordan Jefferson in slot 123 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
No drama and no debate, Isaac Guerendo went about where he belonged in No. 127. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188 Rnd6 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in pick 188 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trajan Jeffcoat
A wild overpay on Trajan Jeffcoat in Round 7, Pick 27, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
