Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureF
The Texans robbed the room for Franklin. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Troy Franklin, the No. 24 name on the board, stolen at the 59th pick. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick No. 23 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 24th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick25 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In No. 25 they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
The board fumbled Troy Franklin all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They read the board right and Payton Wilson was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 22. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at the 123rd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
They went early on Jaheim Bell in slot 127, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Nice patience on Braelon Allen, who had no business lasting to pick 164. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239 Rnd7 Phil Jurkovec
Phil Jurkovec slipping to the Round 7 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick248 Rnd7 Aaron Frost
A reasonable price with a little left over, Aaron Frost in the 248th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
