Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Texans.

Nobody had Cole Bishop this high, and it is not close. The Texans reached 24 spots to get him at slot 86. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Raym pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Job largely done: running back settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In No. 23 they get a premier pass rusher, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Fair-plus on Xavier Worthy, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick86 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cole Bishop this early at the 86th overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick124 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Johnny Wilson. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A straight-up fair deal on Ben Sinnott at pick 128, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick236 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
No edge and no loss on Kimani Vidal in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Nice patience on Trevin Wallace, who had no business lasting to the 245th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Andrew Raym
They read the board right and Andrew Raym was the payoff at the Round 7 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
