Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Mitchell should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Quinyon Mitchell slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at the Round 2 slot. Highway robbery.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will need McLachlan to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 23rd overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
They barely believed it either: Quinyon Mitchell still on the board at pick 59. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick85 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in No. 85 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
They paid up for Jaheim Bell at pick No. 124 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
A reach for Malik Mustapha in the Round 4 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick161 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A tidy bit of business in slot 161, where Ty'Ron Hopper graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick236 Rnd7 Blake Watson
They let Blake Watson come to them and pounced at the 236th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
They reached a country mile for Tanner McLachlan at Round 7, Pick 25, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
