Draft Grade — Texans

Larceny in the 188th overall pick lands the Texans a B, McCaffrey and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Luke McCaffrey got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at the 188th overall pick. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Jared Verse
Taking Jared Verse in pick 42 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick59 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They paid sticker price for Braden Fiske in pick No. 59, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick123 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at Round 4, Pick 23 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
By-the-book stuff, Isaac Guerendo at slot 127 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick188 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at No. 188 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in the 247th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
