Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Texans: C+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Texans started one anyway for Marcel Brooks, 94 picks ahead of schedule.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Laube.

Hit on Quinyon Mitchell and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 23 they get a sticky cover corner, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick59 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A wild overpay on Braden Fiske in the 59th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
Value said wait; Mohamed Kamara in Round 3, Pick 22 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
A tidy bit of business in No. 123, where Tyrice Knight graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick127 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
A real head-scratcher, Ty'Ron Hopper in pick No. 127 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
They barely believed it either: Dylan Laube still on the board at the 164th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 Marcel Brooks
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Marcel Brooks. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Cody Simon
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cody Simon this early at No. 248. A need, and now a little less of one.
