Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Texans bet big and early on Logan Lee, 88 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

That Fashanu pick is the receipt they will wave around later. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
They will replay Olumuyiwa Fashanu at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick59 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They barely believed it either: Brian Thomas Jr. still on the board at the 59th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in No. 86 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick123 Rnd4 Logan Lee
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Logan Lee. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ty'Ron Hopper well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick188 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Value with a capital V on Malik Mustapha in slot 188, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick238 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at pick No. 238 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Devin Culp
They talked themselves into Devin Culp at the 247th pick, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick252 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sam Hartman. A need, and now a little less of one.
