Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Texans.

The Texans clearly saw something nobody else did in Tanner McLachlan, taking him 63 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The Benson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 23rd pick they get a cornerstone up front at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the 59th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
A wild overpay on Mohamed Kamara in pick No. 86, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124 Rnd4 Trey Benson
A running back of that caliber at slot 124 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Sione Vaki
They paid a round early for Sione Vaki in pick 128, more than the board wanted. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick236 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
Circle this one: De'Corian Clark at Round 7, Pick 16 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
By-the-book stuff, Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 245th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at No. 250 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
