Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Texans a B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Texans reached some 39 spots for Frank Gore Jr., and value like that does not grow back.

The Verse steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will answer for taking cornerback early while wide receiver, quarterback and other spots went begging. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Jared Verse
Circle this one: Jared Verse at Round 2, Pick 10 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A straight-up fair deal on Braden Fiske at pick 59, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in the 86th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick123 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in No. 123 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
A want over a need in the Round 4 slot: Jarvis Brownlee Jr. adds a cornerback while wide receiver, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick188 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Value said wait; Frank Gore Jr. in slot 188 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Trevin Wallace at pick No. 247. It fills a real need, too.
