Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B- to prove it.

The board owed the Texans one, and it paid up: Kamal Hadden, the No. 167 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 6 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The McCaffrey reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in the 42nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Junior Colson in the Round 2 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton slipping to slot 86 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick123 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at pick 123 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
This one needs a full-page explanation: Luke McCaffrey in No. 127, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in Round 6, Pick 13 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick247 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Good price on Josh Proctor in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
