Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

The Texans bet big and early on Dont'e Thornton Jr., 84 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Dumas-Johnson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in slot 25 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
No drama and no debate, Alfred Collins went about where he belonged in pick 58. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
A big swing on Jared Wilson at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 3, Pick 25 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick166 Rnd5 Marcus Yarns
A real head-scratcher, Marcus Yarns in the 166th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Circle this one: Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the 236th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
