Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for McGlothern. Final grade: B-.

The board owed the Texans one, and it paid up: Dwight McGlothern, the No. 161 name on the board, sitting there at pick 188 like a gift left on the doorstep.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. The McCormick reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 10. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick59 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86 Rnd3 Javon Baker
They took Javon Baker at par in pick No. 86, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mason McCormick in the Round 4 slot, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick127 Rnd4 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in pick 127 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the 188th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
They talked themselves into Trey Taylor at slot 247, and the board did not agree. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
