Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

Nobody had De'Corian Clark this high, and it is not close. The Texans reached 36 spots to get him at slot 164.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 23 they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 59 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
They reached a country mile for Leonard Taylor III at the 85th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
They paid a round early for Jaheim Bell in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick127 Rnd4 James Williams
No edge and no loss on James Williams in pick 127; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick164 Rnd5 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at the 164th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at the 239th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
A wild overpay on Tanner McLachlan in pick 248, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
