Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Sainristil fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Mike Sainristil, the No. 75 name on the board, in the 123rd pick. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If Clark pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. It is not that Sainristil is a bad player; it is that the Texans had louder needs to answer first.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick59 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in the 59th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Max Melton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Max Melton at pick No. 86. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick123 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
They bypassed pressing needs at running back, offensive lineman and other spots to take Mike Sainristil, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick127 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Johnny Wilson. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick188 Rnd6 Myles Cole
The board had cheaper options than Myles Cole at pick 188, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
A wild overpay on De'Corian Clark in No. 247, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
