Houston Texans 2020 Draft Grade: D

Bill O' Brien is completely off the rails.  He gave Deandre Hopkins away, and was yelling at someone during the draft process.  They took Ross Blacklock who should be a starter at defensive tackle, but they got nothing after that.  Instead of paying Deandre Hopkins, they paid Laremy Tunsil?  And two first round picks for Tunsil?  The Texans are wasting the Deshaun Watson years. 

Houston Texans 2018 Draft Grade: B

The Texans didn't have a first or second round pick, but made the most of the draft.  They took first round talent S Justin Reid in the third round. C Martinas Rankin has the ability to develop into a starter and we like WR Keke Coutee as a poor man's Tyreek Hill. 6th round DE Duke Ejiofor was underrated and should have been drafted much earlier.

Houston Texans 2017 Draft Grade: B

The Texans traded their 2016 and 2017 first round picks to move up and get QB Deshaun Watson.  It's not a great fit as Bill O 'Brien is more of a pocket passer guy, but Watson is a proven winner.  If O'Brien is flexible enough to develop a different type of player, Watson can lead the Texans to the playoffs. Second round LB Zach Cunnigham should start as a rookie and have a field day behind the Texans stout defensive line.  Fourth round DT Carlos Watkins was a steal.  He's the next Grady Jarrett. D'Onta Foreman adds much needed depth at running back and late round center Kyle Fuller will provide depth on the interior of the offensive line.
