Draft Grade — Texans
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB- TradesC- FutureC+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Liufau: C+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Marist Liufau slide 37 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Reaching for Taylor III left real value on the table behind him. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Hit on Cooper DeJean and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In slot 23 they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. It fills a real need, too.
Pick85 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
No drama and no debate, Roman Wilson went about where he belonged in pick 85. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at Round 3, Pick 23 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Marist Liufau
The board fumbled Marist Liufau all the way to No. 123, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick127 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
A conviction pick on Malik Mustapha at pick No. 127 that the board grades a round light. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at the 164th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239 Rnd7 Blake Watson
They let Blake Watson come to them and pounced at the Round 7 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tanner McLachlan well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
