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

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: T.J. Tampa, the No. 43 name on the board, in slot 92. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If Watson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 26th pick they get a problem off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at Round 2, Pick 17 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in slot 92 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick117 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in pick 117 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in No. 126 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Malik Mustapha in the 154th overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick234 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Circle this one: Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 234 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Blake Watson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Blake Watson. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
