Grand theft in pick No. 59: the Texans steal DeJean and grade out a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Cooper DeJean got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at the Round 2 slot. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Reaching for Hunt left real value on the table behind him. The DeJean pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots still on the board.

The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
The board fumbled Quinyon Mitchell all the way to Round 2, Pick 10, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick59 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cooper DeJean at cornerback with offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick86 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in pick 86 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
By-the-book stuff, Isaac Guerendo at the 123rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
They reached a country mile for Jalyx Hunt at pick No. 127, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at the 188th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus in slot 247 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
