Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureD-
The Texans lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Texans spent pick No. 128 on Ty'Ron Hopper, a name the board had a full 49 spots lower. Put together, it is a D-.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Rosemy-Jacksaint.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 23rd overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in slot 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at pick No. 58 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
By-the-book stuff, Mike Sainristil at pick 59 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick86 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Taking Patrick Paul in No. 86 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ja'Lynn Polk in the 87th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at pick No. 124 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in the 128th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick236 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in No. 236 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trey Knox
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Trey Knox at Round 7, Pick 25 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick250 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
A big swing on De'Corian Clark at slot 250, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
