Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B.

The Texans put a flag in the ground for Myles Cole, 96 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Rakestraw Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In pick No. 23 they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper slipping to No. 59 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 86 is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick123 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Isaac Guerendo in slot 123. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Myles Cole
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Myles Cole. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at Round 7, Pick 4 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Value said wait; Sam Hartman in the 238th overall pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 David Ugwoegbu
David Ugwoegbu at slot 247 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
