Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
The Texans won the night they stopped Coleman from sliding. Grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Keon Coleman tumbling to the Texans in the Round 2 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They are betting McLachlan proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In slot 23 they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick24 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In No. 24 they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A big swing on T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 33, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Somehow Keon Coleman was still sitting there in the 59th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
A premium they did not need to pay, Malik Mustapha a notch or two before his time. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
A reach for Jaheim Bell in Round 4, Pick 27; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Will Shipley
Will Shipley in pick 164 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick239 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
They reached a country mile for Tanner McLachlan at the 239th pick, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick248 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at slot 248 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
