Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The tape said wait; the Texans did not. Isaac Guerendo went at the Round 3 slot, a good 42 picks before the board was ready.

Getting McGlothern where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick62 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
Quietly one of the better values of the day, T.J. Tampa at pick 62. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick86 Rnd3 Isaac Guerendo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaac Guerendo well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at the 113th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They took Johnny Wilson at par in No. 123, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at slot 127 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick188 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They barely believed it either: Dwight McGlothern still on the board at No. 188. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick218 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Somehow Trente Jones was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at pick No. 247 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
