Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Texans took Matt Lee at pick No. 252, roughly 23 spots before his name belonged. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Landing Allen that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at pick No. 42 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick59 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
No edge and no loss on Xavier Worthy in the 59th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at No. 86 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Braelon Allen in pick 123. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Josh Newton
They did well to land Josh Newton in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at slot 188 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Good price on Michael Barrett in slot 238, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
By-the-book stuff, Brevyn Spann-Ford at Round 7, Pick 27 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick252 Rnd7 Matt Lee
Matt Lee in the 252nd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
