Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
The Texans fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Texans were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Legette at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

The McLachlan reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 23, where Jer'Zhan Newton graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick24 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 24th pick they get a problem off the edge, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in Round 2, Pick 9 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick57 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Somehow Xavier Legette was still sitting there in No. 57, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Payton Wilson in the Round 3 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick87 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
They jumped the gun on Blake Fisher, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick124 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at pick 124 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick128 Rnd4 Will Shipley
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Will Shipley. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick161 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A slide stopped in No. 161, with Ty'Ron Hopper worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick236 Rnd7 Blake Watson
They let Blake Watson come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 16. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tanner McLachlan. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
