Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueD NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Texans turned the phones into found money: B.

The tape said wait; the Texans did not. Frank Gore Jr. went at the 81st pick, a good 142 picks before the board was ready.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kris Jenkins
In the 31st pick they get a bendy edge with upside, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in No. 76 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81 Rnd3 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in slot 81 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They paid sticker price for Ben Sinnott in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at the 132nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick175 Rnd5 Ryan Watts
A big swing on Ryan Watts at No. 175, well ahead of any board in the building. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick214 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Matthew Jones well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
