Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Smith: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Tykee Smith slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at the 164th pick. Highway robbery. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Reaching for McLachlan left real value on the table behind him. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze slipping to the 23rd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick59 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in pick No. 59 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick85 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
By-the-book stuff, Marist Liufau at Round 3, Pick 22 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at the 127th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
They robbed the room for Tykee Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick239 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson slid further than he should have, and pick 239 is lovely value for the running back. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tanner McLachlan well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
