Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Texans robbed the room for Cowing. Final grade: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Texans fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Cowing. A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In pick 32 they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at slot 123 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Value with a capital V on Kris Abrams-Draine in pick No. 126, a genuine coup. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick134 Rnd4 James Williams
They did well to land James Williams in the 134th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick163 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
They took Frank Gore Jr. at par in the 163rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick187 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A clean, defensible pick in pick 187 with a little surplus value in Michael Barrett. The roster fit checks out.
Pick239 Rnd7 Mark Perry
A tidy little value on Mark Perry in No. 239, a step better than break-even. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick247 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
A slide stopped in pick No. 247, with Eric Gentry worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
