Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Melton fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Max Melton slide 47 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Texans indulged a want in Melton while a need in edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open. The McLachlan pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Rome Odunze
Circle this one: Rome Odunze at pick No. 42 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Edgerrin Cooper at Round 2, Pick 27. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
The board had Mike Sainristil higher than No. 86, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick123 Rnd4 Max Melton
A want over a need in the Round 4 slot: Max Melton adds a cornerback while edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
No drama and no debate, Isaac Guerendo went about where he belonged in pick 127. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan in the 188th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They paid a round early for Sam Hartman in the 247th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
