Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jordan Jefferson in the 123rd overall pick, a good 60 spots before the room expected him.

Getting Rosemy-Jacksaint where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

The DeJean pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots still on the board. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Circle this one: Terrion Arnold at the 42nd pick is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick59 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
A curious use of Round 2, Pick 27. Edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Cooper DeJean did not.
Pick86 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Roman Wilson at slot 86 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at the 123rd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in pick No. 127 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick188 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Fair-plus on Ty'Ron Hopper, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick 247 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
