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

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Texans did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

The Abrams-Draine pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Thrash steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 24 they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In slot 25 they get a wrecking ball inside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at pick 37 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the 59th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
By-the-book stuff, TreVeyon Henderson at No. 87 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A wild overpay on Cooper Beebe in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kris Abrams-Draine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick102 Rnd4 Junior Colson
A reach on Junior Colson in the 102nd pick; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A big swing on Javon Foster at pick 105, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123 Rnd4 James Williams
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash slid further than he should have, and slot 126 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Value with a capital V on Joe Milton III in pick No. 163, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239 Rnd7 Arik Gilbert
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Arik Gilbert well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
They paid sticker price for Demani Richardson in the 247th pick, and that is fine. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
