Draft Grade — Texans

The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Colson: B-.

The board owed the Texans one, and it paid up: Junior Colson, the No. 75 name on the board, sitting there at No. 127 like a gift left on the doorstep.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 23rd overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in pick 59 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at Round 3, Pick 22 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
They paid up for Jaheim Bell at pick No. 123 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Junior Colson
The board fumbled Junior Colson all the way to the 127th pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick164 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Somehow Malik Mustapha was still sitting there in No. 164, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick239 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Value with a capital V on Blake Watson in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at slot 248 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
