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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Quinyon Mitchell, pick No. 42, roughly 23 picks past where he belonged.

The Smith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Steal is underselling it; Quinyon Mitchell at Round 2, Pick 10 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 2 slot is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They reached a country mile for Maason Smith at pick 86, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Johnny Wilson at slot 123 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the 127th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan in pick No. 188 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A reach for Tyler Owens in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
