Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Texans to a D.

The phones were a trap the Texans kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

They are betting Hunt proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

On value alone, Cooper makes the weekend a net positive.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in No. 43 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A clean, defensible pick in pick 59 with a little surplus value in Xavier Worthy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick60 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 60 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cade Stover in the 79th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Trey Benson
No drama and no debate, Trey Benson went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Josh Newton
No edge and no loss on Josh Newton in the 123rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalyx Hunt well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
They took Roger Rosengarten at par in Round 4, Pick 28, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick188 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Value said wait; Drake Nugent in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
A wild overpay on Trey Taylor in slot 247, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
