Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC FutureC
The Texans landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Texans spent pick No. 245 on Julius Welschof, a name the board had a full 153 spots lower. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

The Mitchell value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

So much rides on Chop Robinson that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 23rd pick they get a premier pass rusher, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
The board fumbled Quinyon Mitchell all the way to pick No. 59, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick60 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at Round 2, Pick 28 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at the 86th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Sione Vaki
They liked Sione Vaki enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 124. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
They went early on Jaheim Bell in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick236 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at the Round 7 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Julius Welschof
Julius Welschof at No. 245 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at the 250th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
