Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C
ValueF NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Texans get a C.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Texans took Austin Novosad at the Round 6 slot, roughly 392 spots before his name belonged.

That Robinson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jordan Ross
In pick 7 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick71 Rnd3 Isaac Brown
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaac Brown this early at No. 71. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Duce Robinson
Circle this one: Duce Robinson at Round 4, Pick 8 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick190 Rnd6 Austin Novosad
A real head-scratcher, Austin Novosad in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick197 Rnd6 Isaiah Augustave
Isaiah Augustave at slot 197 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick242 Rnd7 Desmeal Leigh
Taking Desmeal Leigh in pick No. 242 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
