Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Texans to a D-.

There is reaching, and then there is Gunnar Helm at pick 109. The Texans jumped the board by 55 and dared it to prove them wrong.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Nelson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Adding Trey Smith by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick32 Rnd1 Deone Walker
In slot 32 they get a load in the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson at No. 35 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick50 Rnd2 Clay Webb
They left a pile of value on the table to take Clay Webb this early at pick 50. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick62 Rnd2 Devin Neal
A tidy little value on Devin Neal in the 62nd overall pick, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Shavon Revel Jr.
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick94 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at pick 94 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick97 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman slipping to pick No. 97 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
They reached a country mile for Gunnar Helm at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in the 131st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick164 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at Round 5, Pick 26 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick244 Rnd7 Taylen Green
They took Taylen Green at par in slot 244, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
