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

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jordan Jefferson, 56 picks early at the Round 4 slot.

The Thomas Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They will answer for taking cornerback early while edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots went begging.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Somehow Quinyon Mitchell was still sitting there in No. 42, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick59 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in Round 2, Pick 27 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A curious use of the 86th overall pick. Edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Mike Sainristil did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Javon Baker
They barely believed it either: Javon Baker still on the board at slot 123. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jordan Jefferson
They talked themselves into Jordan Jefferson at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
You do not let a linebacker like Marist Liufau reach the 188th pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Blake Watson
They reached into another round for Blake Watson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
