Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Texans this weekend: C-.

The Roman Wilson pick is the one that will follow the Texans into the fall. They took him 33 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A weekend of give and take that grades a C-.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback and tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick 18 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
They reached a country mile for Roman Wilson at the 47th pick, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71 Rnd3 Junior Colson
They paid sticker price for Junior Colson in Round 3, Pick 7, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick85 Rnd3 DJ James
A swing that ignored the value entirely, DJ James well ahead of where he belonged. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick115 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at slot 115 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jaylin Simpson adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback and tight end untouched.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylen Wright at No. 161, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
No drama and no debate, Jaylen Harrell went about where he belonged in slot 205. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They talked themselves into Matthew Jones at pick No. 223, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
