Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Texans a B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Texans reached some 34 spots for Dwight McGlothern, and value like that does not grow back.

The Nubin value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A tidy little value on Xavier Legette in slot 42, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at No. 59 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick86 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
A conviction pick on DeWayne Carter at Round 3, Pick 23 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick123 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at pick 123 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick127 Rnd4 Dwight McGlothern
They reached into another round for Dwight McGlothern, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in pick No. 188 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
They took Kimani Vidal at par in pick 247, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
