Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Texans: B-.

Some picks age like wine; De'Corian Clark at the Round 5 slot will need to, sitting 36 spots clear of his grade. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 23rd pick they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in pick 59 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick85 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
No drama and no debate, Marist Liufau went about where he belonged in slot 85. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
A premium they did not need to pay, Malik Mustapha a notch or two before his time. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
They jumped the gun on Jaheim Bell, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick164 Rnd5 De'Corian Clark
A big swing on De'Corian Clark at the 164th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at the 239th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
A real head-scratcher, Tanner McLachlan in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
