Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Evan Anderson, 62 picks early at the Round 7 slot. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Rosengarten at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 23 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick59 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the 59th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at slot 85 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at pick 124 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They reached into another round for Theo Johnson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick161 Rnd5 Renardo Green
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Renardo Green at Round 5, Pick 25. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick236 Rnd7 Roger Rosengarten
The board fumbled Roger Rosengarten all the way to the 236th pick, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at No. 245 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
