Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Cowing from sliding. Grade: B.

Call it larceny. Jacob Cowing sat on the board until slot 123, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting Thomas proves the room right and everyone else wrong. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
The board had Dallas Turner higher than No. 23, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They robbed the room for Ennis Rakestraw Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick85 Rnd3 Junior Colson
They read the board right and Junior Colson was the payoff at the 85th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at the 123rd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
No edge and no loss on Isaiah Adams in pick 127; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A tidy bit of business in Round 5, Pick 38, where Kitan Oladapo graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick239 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in pick No. 239 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the linebacker. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick248 Rnd7 Myles Cole
Myles Cole at Round 7, Pick 28 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
