Bears 24 DRAFTING FOR THETexans

Draft Grade — Texans

FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B- to prove it. The board owed the Texans one, and it paid up: Cornelius Johnson, the No. 160 name on the board, sitting there at Round 6, Pick 14 like a gift left on the doorstep. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
Reaching for Culp left real value on the table behind him. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick42
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in No. 42; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick59
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
They let Roman Wilson come to them and pounced at the 59th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86
Rnd3
Maason Smith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Maason Smith in the 86th pick, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123
Rnd4
Cam Hart
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 23, where Cam Hart graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick127
Rnd4
Audric Estime
A tidy little value on Audric Estime in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188
Rnd6
Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki in pick 188 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick189
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
The board fumbled Cornelius Johnson all the way to pick No. 189, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238
Rnd7
Ethan Driskell
A conviction pick on Ethan Driskell at the 238th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247
Rnd7
Devin Culp
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Devin Culp. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
