Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Taaffe: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Michael Taaffe slide 35 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The cost of the Tiernan reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Caleb Tiernan
In slot 28 they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Emmanuel Pregnon. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jadarian Price
They took Jadarian Price at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at the 69th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106 Rnd4 Michael Taaffe
Steal is underselling it; Michael Taaffe at Round 4, Pick 6 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick141 Rnd5 Harold Perkins Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Harold Perkins Jr. in the 141st overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick167 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
They let Charles Demmings come to them and pounced at pick No. 167. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick243 Rnd7 Noah Whittington
A clean, defensible pick in pick 243 with a little surplus value in Noah Whittington. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
