texansthinktank DRAFTING FOR THETexans
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Texans
Overall

FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B. The Texans bet big and early on Frank Crum, 48 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.
On value alone, Corum makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 23rd overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick59
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
You do not let a cornerback like Kool-Aid McKinstry reach the 59th pick and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick86
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
Value with a capital V on Xavier Legette in pick No. 86, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123
Rnd4
Blake Corum
They robbed the room for Blake Corum here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
They did well to land Tyler Davis in pick 127, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick224
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
They will replay Jaylan Ford at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in No. 238 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247
Rnd7
Frank Crum
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Frank Crum. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
