Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B to prove it.

Nobody had Zion Logue this high, and it is not close. The Texans reached 53 spots to get him at No. 247. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They banked enough surplus on Tampa to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
They read the board right and Jonathon Brooks was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Nothing to complain about; Christian Haynes went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, T'Vondre Sweat in slot 86, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
They will replay T.J. Tampa at pick No. 87 for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick123 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
No drama and no debate, Brenden Rice went about where he belonged in the 123rd overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Foster. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick188 Rnd6 Decamerion Richardson
They let Decamerion Richardson come to them and pounced at pick 188. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick189 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton in No. 189 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick238 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton in the 238th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Zion Logue
A big swing on Zion Logue at pick No. 247, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
