Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Frank Crum at the 247th overall pick. The Texans jumped the board by 48 and dared it to prove them wrong.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
They did well to land Malachi Corley in No. 59, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at pick 86 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at the 123rd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A conviction pick on Jaylan Ford at the 188th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Evan Williams at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick247 Rnd7 Frank Crum
They talked themselves into Frank Crum at the 247th overall pick, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick252 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Nothing to complain about; Brevyn Spann-Ford went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
