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

The war room fell hard for Blake Watson, and it showed at pick 247: 38 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. However the rest shakes out, Braswell at that price is a win they earned.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
They let Ladd McConkey come to them and pounced at pick No. 42. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They read the board right and Chris Braswell was the payoff at the 59th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 23: Mike Sainristil for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at the 123rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade at No. 127 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson slipping to pick 192 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick235 Rnd7 Keaton Bills
Keaton Bills at the 235th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247 Rnd7 Blake Watson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Blake Watson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
