Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesD- FutureD
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Texans to a C.

The war room fell hard for Storm Duck, and it showed at pick 247: 38 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. The final tally is a middling C.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Turner. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get juice off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at slot 28 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II in pick No. 58 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick60 Rnd2 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A conviction pick on Dominick Puni at pick 90 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at the 123rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick126 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at pick No. 126 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick163 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the 163rd pick, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239 Rnd7 Carson Steele
The board had cheaper options than Carson Steele at Round 7, Pick 19, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Storm Duck
Value said wait; Storm Duck in slot 247 says they were not listening. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
