Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureD
The phones sank the Texans this weekend: D.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Texans spent Round 7, Pick 28 on Julius Welschof, a name most had 81 spots down the list. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring. The Benson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and offensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 23rd overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick No. 24 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick33 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in pick 33 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the 59th pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Value with a capital V on Trey Benson in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
A reach for Malik Mustapha in Round 4, Pick 23; a little patience would have been rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in No. 127 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick164 Rnd5 David Ugwoegbu
This one needs a full-page explanation: David Ugwoegbu in slot 164, miles early. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick239 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tanner McLachlan. The roster fit checks out.
Pick248 Rnd7 Julius Welschof
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Julius Welschof well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
