Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
Grand theft in No. 59: the Texans steal Wiggins and grade out a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Nate Wiggins at pick No. 59 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The cost of the McLachlan reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 23 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II in pick No. 24 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
They barely believed it either: Nate Wiggins still on the board at the 59th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick85 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson is a better player than the 85th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at Round 3, Pick 24 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
They jumped the gun on Jaheim Bell, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick127 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
A conviction pick on Malik Mustapha at pick 127 that the board grades a round light. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick164 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper slid further than he should have, and slot 164 is lovely value for the linebacker. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
They read the board right and Taulia Tagovailoa was the payoff at slot 239. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
A real head-scratcher, Tanner McLachlan in Round 7, Pick 28 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
