Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
The Texans turned the phones into found money: B.

The war room fell hard for Ty'Ron Hopper, and it showed at the Round 4 slot: 51 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Rakestraw Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: running back settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In No. 23 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
Nothing to complain about; Chop Robinson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They robbed the room for Ennis Rakestraw Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick86 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Value with a capital V on Calen Bullock in slot 86, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
They let Xavier Legette come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo is a better player than pick No. 122 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in pick 126 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
They paid sticker price for Tanner McLachlan in slot 224, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
The board had Tyler Owens higher than the 238th overall pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at No. 247 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
