These are the first ten grades I found. What does this mean? Probably not much, but you get an idea that people weren't terribly impressed with the Texans' draft. The pick of Duane Brown was widely slammed, most people thought he was anywhere from a second round to a third round pick. As the Texans didn't have a second round pick, they probably felt they needed to take a tackle with this pick. They gambled once by moving down, and the Chargers were apparently looking for a tackle as well. Not much was said about the other picks, which I think were decent.

Average grade: C

Like I said, no one was too impressed.
