Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B- to prove it.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Texans shredded theirs for Isaac Rex. He came off 84 spots early, and the room will hear about it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Gould value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They did well to land Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the 42nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick59 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Circle this one: Braden Fiske at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Somehow Javon Bullard was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 23, and they pounced on premier safety value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick123 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They liked Isaac Guerendo enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 123. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at slot 127 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in No. 188 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Tyrice Knight
A big swing on Tyrice Knight at Round 6, Pick 14, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Isaac Rex
Value said wait; Isaac Rex in the 238th pick says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247 Rnd7 Deantre Prince
They paid up for Deantre Prince at pick 247 when waiting would have done the job. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
