Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Texans would have aced it. Trajan Jeffcoat at slot 247 is 61 spots clear of where he belonged.

That McKinstry pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The Texans indulged a want in McKinstry while a need in offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots stayed open. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cooper DeJean at slot 42 is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Kool-Aid McKinstry while clear needs at offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick86 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Leonard Taylor III. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Javon Baker
Taking Javon Baker in the 123rd pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at the 127th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
Circle this one: Marist Liufau at pick 188 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trajan Jeffcoat
Trajan Jeffcoat at the 247th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
