Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Wingo: B.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Texans, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Landing Wingo that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They are betting McLachlan proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 23rd pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick24 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 24th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at slot 59 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick85 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Steal is underselling it; Mekhi Wingo at pick No. 85 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Good price on Roman Wilson in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
A reach for Jaheim Bell in Round 4, Pick 23; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick127 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at the 127th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick164 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
The board had Ty'Ron Hopper higher than pick 164, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239 Rnd7 Blake Watson
A slide stopped in the Round 7 slot, with Blake Watson worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at the 248th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
