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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Texans shredded theirs for Jordan Magee. He came off 38 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

They banked enough surplus on Braswell to cover a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
They paid sticker price for Kamari Lassiter in pick 23, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick59 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brandon Dorlus in No. 59. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
Circle this one: Chris Braswell at Round 3, Pick 22 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They paid up for Cedric Gray at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at pick No. 127 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at slot 164 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
A slide stopped in No. 239, with Zakhari Franklin worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jeremy James
By-the-book stuff, Jeremy James at the 248th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
