Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Tanner McLachlan at Round 7, Pick 25 will need to, sitting 45 spots clear of his grade.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 23rd overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Nothing to complain about; Ja'Tavion Sanders went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in the 85th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Sione Vaki
They jumped the gun on Sione Vaki, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at pick 128 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at slot 161 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They reached a country mile for Joshua Cephus at slot 236, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
