FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for McDonald. Final grade: B+. Call it larceny. Kayden McDonald sat on the board until the Round 3 slot, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In slot 29 they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value.
Pick38
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Fair-plus on Dillon Thieneman, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick59
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in the 59th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69
Rnd3
Kayden McDonald
They barely believed it either: Kayden McDonald still on the board at pick No. 69. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick118
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton slipping to No. 118 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick167
Rnd5
Kevin Coleman Jr.
A quiet steal in pick 167: Kevin Coleman Jr. for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick210
Rnd6
Jadon Canady
Jadon Canady in the 210th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick243
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
A premium they did not need to pay, Bryce Foster a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
