Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Cody Simon selection is the head-turner. The Texans reached 80 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They will answer for taking cornerback early while running back, offensive lineman and other spots went begging. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

Getting Knight where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
In No. 23 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They took Chris Braswell at par in pick 59, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
A tidy little value on Roman Wilson in the 86th overall pick, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
A slide stopped in the 124th pick, with Tyrice Knight worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Kris Abrams-Draine adds a cornerback and leaves running back, offensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Ryan Watts at the Round 7 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick245 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at pick No. 245 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick250 Rnd7 Zion Logue
They talked themselves into Zion Logue at slot 250, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
