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

The Texans clearly saw something nobody else did in Jordan Jefferson, taking him 56 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The Pritchett pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in Round 2, Pick 10 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick59 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Somehow Brian Thomas Jr. was still sitting there in the 59th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in the 86th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
No edge and no loss on Isaac Guerendo in No. 123; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at pick No. 127 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Nehemiah Pritchett
They will replay Nehemiah Pritchett at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick247 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
They let Michael Barrett come to them and pounced at pick No. 247. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
