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

The rest of the league had time to spare on Maason Smith; the Texans did not wait, grabbing him 25 spots ahead at the 86th overall pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Thomas Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Value with a capital V on Brian Thomas Jr. in slot 42, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 59 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A real head-scratcher, Maason Smith in the 86th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Josh Newton
No drama and no debate, Josh Newton went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 23. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A straight-up fair deal on Mohamed Kamara at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick188 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at No. 188 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
They jumped the gun on Tyler Owens, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
