Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureD-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Wilson: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Roman Wilson got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at No. 124.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. McLachlan has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot.
Pick24 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In No. 24 they get juice off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick 25 they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Nothing to complain about; Ja'Tavion Sanders went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Circle this one: Payton Wilson at the 85th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
Value said wait; Mohamed Kamara in slot 87 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
They will replay Roman Wilson at Round 4, Pick 24 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Sione Vaki
A conviction pick on Sione Vaki at pick No. 128 that the board grades a round light. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick161 Rnd5 Renardo Green
They let Renardo Green come to them and pounced at pick 161. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick236 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at the 236th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
They reached a country mile for Tanner McLachlan at No. 245, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
