Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on DeJean: B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Cooper DeJean, the No. 26 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 56th overall pick.

The Smith pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Somehow Cooper DeJean was still sitting there in No. 56, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jaylen Wright
They paid up for Jaylen Wright at pick 59 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at the 86th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick123 Rnd4 James Williams
They took James Williams at par in pick No. 123, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick127 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in slot 127 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A premium they did not need to pay, Joe Milton III a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
The board had cheaper options than Tyrice Knight at the 247th overall pick, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
