Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Sinnott. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ben Sinnott got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at pick 188. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Owens has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
They barely believed it either: Kool-Aid McKinstry still on the board at Round 2, Pick 10. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Nice patience on Edgerrin Cooper, who had no business lasting to pick 59. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Benson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A quiet steal in the 123rd pick: Leonard Taylor III for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They took Johnny Wilson at par in the 127th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick188 Rnd6 Ben Sinnott
They robbed the room for Ben Sinnott here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A reach for Tyler Owens in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
