Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Fisher from sliding. Grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Blake Fisher slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at pick No. 127. Highway robbery. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

McLachlan has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 23 they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Circle this one: Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick85 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Payton Wilson in Round 3, Pick 22. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
A conviction pick on Malik Mustapha at pick 123 that the board grades a round light. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick127 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
The board fumbled Blake Fisher all the way to pick No. 127, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at slot 164 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson slipping to the 239th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
A big swing on Tanner McLachlan at the 248th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
