Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Evan Anderson, 38 picks early at the 245th pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Sinnott at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In slot 23 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They took Edgerrin Cooper at par in pick No. 59, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in pick 85 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at the 124th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick128 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
They did well to land Sataoa Laumea in the 128th pick, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
They jumped the gun on Ja'Had Carter, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick245 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
