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

The Texans went off the board in a big way for De'Corian Clark, 51 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Jackson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick No. 23 they get a premier pass rusher, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the 59th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
They reached a country mile for Leonard Taylor III at pick 85, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 124th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick128 Rnd4 Sione Vaki
They went early on Sione Vaki in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick161 Rnd5 De'Corian Clark
They left a pile of value on the table to take De'Corian Clark this early at No. 161. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Blake Watson
No drama and no debate, Blake Watson went about where he belonged in pick 236. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
A wild overpay on Tanner McLachlan in pick No. 245, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
