Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
The Texans fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Texans took Zion Logue a full 62 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In slot 23 they get a wrecking ball inside, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Edgerrin Cooper in the 59th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 86th pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Max Melton
A tidy bit of business in No. 87, where Max Melton graded well above the range. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick123 Rnd4 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in Round 4, Pick 23 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Renardo Green
They robbed the room for Renardo Green here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick224 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Value said wait; Zion Logue in No. 224 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A reach for Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 238th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in the 247th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
