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

The Texans bet big and early on Khristian Boyd, 51 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

That McCormick pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in pick No. 42 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick59 Rnd2 Javon Baker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Javon Baker. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick86 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khyree Jackson. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick127 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd in pick 127 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Mason McCormick
Somehow Mason McCormick was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 13, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
A reasonable price with a little left over, Josh Proctor in slot 247. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
