Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Mayes: B-.

Somebody in pick 242 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Texans sat still while BJ Mayes, the No. 216 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Tupuola-Fetui has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 27th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick53 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in No. 53 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
A tidy bit of business in pick 88, where Johnny Wilson graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick121 Rnd4 Junior Colson
Fair-plus on Junior Colson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
They took Jaden Hicks at par in Round 4, Pick 27, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick158 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They talked themselves into Zion Tupuola-Fetui at slot 158, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at the Round 7 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick242 Rnd7 BJ Mayes
They will replay BJ Mayes at the 242nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
