Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Zion Logue selection is the head-turner. The Texans reached 39 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will answer for taking cornerback early while edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots went begging. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at pick No. 42 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Edgerrin Cooper at slot 59 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86 Rnd3 Max Melton
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Max Melton in Round 3, Pick 23 leaves edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick123 Rnd4 Javon Baker
They robbed the room for Javon Baker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They paid sticker price for Isaac Guerendo in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at the 188th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247 Rnd7 Zion Logue
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zion Logue well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
