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

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Texans did exactly that with De'Corian Clark in slot 164.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Watson.

Job largely done: running back settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In No. 23 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Good price on Chris Braswell in pick No. 59, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
A tidy little value on Roman Wilson in pick 85, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
A reach on Jaheim Bell in the 123rd overall pick; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick127 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
They went early on Malik Mustapha in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick164 Rnd5 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at the 164th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick239 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson in pick No. 239 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
A real head-scratcher, Tanner McLachlan in pick 248 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
