Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Gore Jr. should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B-.

Somebody in slot 247 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Texans sat still while Frank Gore Jr., the No. 227 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They are betting Jacobs proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 10 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 59 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Value with a capital V on Mike Sainristil in the 86th overall pick, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick123 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
No drama and no debate, Beaux Limmer went about where he belonged in pick 123. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at pick No. 127 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick188 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A premium they did not need to pay, Curtis Jacobs a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Taking Frank Gore Jr. in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
