Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Texans put a flag in the ground for De'Corian Clark, 39 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Robinson. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 23 they get a ballhawk on the outside, though they paid up to get him.
Pick59 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at No. 59 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nelson Ceaser in Round 4, Pick 24. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
They paid up for Jaheim Bell at the 128th pick when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick161 Rnd5 De'Corian Clark
They reached a country mile for De'Corian Clark at slot 161, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick236 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tanner McLachlan this early at pick No. 236. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus in pick 245 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
