Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB
Larceny in pick 247 lands the Texans a D, Coker and all.

The Texans lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. Coker falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 27th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at No. 42 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
No drama and no debate, Ja'Lynn Polk went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at Round 3, Pick 23 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Nothing to complain about; Cedric Gray went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick127 Rnd4 Brennan Jackson
Good price on Brennan Jackson in pick No. 127, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Erick All
A straight-up fair deal on Erick All at pick 131, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Sataoa Laumea
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Sataoa Laumea in the 188th overall pick, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ty'Ron Hopper at the 189th pick is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at No. 221 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
They read the board right and Steele Chambers was the payoff at slot 238. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
They will replay Jalen Coker at pick No. 247 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
