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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Chop Robinson slide 21 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The cost of the Hunt reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
The board fumbled Chop Robinson all the way to pick No. 42, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper is a better player than No. 59 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at No. 60 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86 Rnd3 Max Melton
A tidy bit of business in slot 86, where Max Melton graded well above the range. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick123 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Johnny Wilson at Round 4, Pick 23, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Theo Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
They paid a round early for Luke McCaffrey in the 134th pick, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at pick 188 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They liked Sam Hartman enough to skip the value, taking him in the 247th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
