Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Texans: B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Texans reached some 40 spots for Taulia Tagovailoa, and value like that does not grow back. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Landing Cooper that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
No drama and no debate, Chop Robinson went about where he belonged in pick 23. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Edgerrin Cooper at No. 59 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in slot 86 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick123 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the 123rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Theo Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
No edge and no loss on Frank Gore Jr. in Round 7, Pick 4; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
The board had cheaper options than Tyler Owens at slot 238, and it noticed. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick247 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Taulia Tagovailoa well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
