Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Texans a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Khalid Duke; the Texans did not wait, grabbing him 44 spots ahead at the 247th overall pick. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Rakestraw Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Adonai Mitchell worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They will replay Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at Round 2, Pick 27 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick86 Rnd3 Renardo Green
No drama and no debate, Renardo Green went about where he belonged in pick No. 86. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick123 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at No. 123 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick 127 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the 188th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in pick No. 238 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Khalid Duke
Value said wait; Khalid Duke in the 247th overall pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick252 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in the 252nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
