Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Every other box got a look, but interior defensive lineman did not. The Texans will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

If Tupuola-Fetui pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Colson.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 23rd pick they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
No drama and no debate, Kingsley Suamataia went about where he belonged in pick No. 58. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in pick 90 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123 Rnd4 Junior Colson
Nice patience on Junior Colson, who had no business lasting to No. 123. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in slot 126 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick163 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zion Tupuola-Fetui this early at the Round 5 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at the 239th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
The board had cheaper options than Jake Briningstool at Round 7, Pick 27, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
