Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Texans got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C.

The Texans lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

The Benson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The McCormick pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Nothing to complain about; Jordan Morgan went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick60 Rnd2 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in No. 60 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at slot 65 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86 Rnd3 Austin Booker
The board had Austin Booker higher than pick 86, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
Value with a capital V on Mekhi Wingo in the 123rd overall pick, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Josh Newton
They did well to land Josh Newton in pick No. 127, just ahead of his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick163 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They let Mason McCormick come to them and pounced at the 163rd pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
