Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
Larceny in the 92nd pick lands the Texans a D, Mitchell and all.

The Texans lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Put together, it is a D.

If Sanders pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, running back very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A slide stopped in pick 33, with Emeka Egbuka worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick49 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 17 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick50 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at No. 50 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Quinyon Mitchell
You do not let a cornerback like Quinyon Mitchell reach the 92nd overall pick and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick99 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Junior Colson well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at slot 117 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118 Rnd4 James Williams
A reach for James Williams in the 118th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick126 Rnd4 Theo Wease
Theo Wease at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick154 Rnd5 T.J. Sanders
This one needs a full-page explanation: T.J. Sanders in pick No. 154, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick234 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at No. 234 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark in pick 238 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
