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

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Texans did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to running back, which was the need that mattered most. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Leveston. The cost of the Logan Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 23rd overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
No drama and no debate, Kingsley Suamataia went about where he belonged in pick No. 59. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
They went early on Leonard Taylor III in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Johnny Wilson at the 124th pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in pick 128 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick236 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
A conviction pick on Kenny Logan Jr. at slot 236 that the board grades a round light. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick245 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They paid sticker price for Edefuan Ulofoshio in No. 245, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick250 Rnd7 KT Leveston
KT Leveston in Round 7, Pick 30 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
