Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Latu from sliding. Grade: B.

The board owed the Texans one, and it paid up: Laiatu Latu, the No. 7 name on the board, sitting there at No. 59 like a gift left on the doorstep.

They are betting McLachlan proves the room right and everyone else wrong. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
They read the board right and Dallas Turner was the payoff at Round 1, Pick 23. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick59 Rnd2 Laiatu Latu
Laiatu Latu at pick 59 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They took Roman Wilson at par in the 85th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123 Rnd4 Marist Liufau
Somehow Marist Liufau was still sitting there in No. 123, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at slot 127 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick164 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick239 Rnd7 Blake Watson
The board had Blake Watson higher than pick No. 239, and the running back fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
They reached into another round for Tanner McLachlan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
