Grand theft in No. 86: the Texans steal Tampa and grade out a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: T.J. Tampa, the No. 51 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 86.

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
Pick42 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 42 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick59 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
No edge and no loss on Braden Fiske in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick86 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
They barely believed it either: T.J. Tampa still on the board at the 86th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick123 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick 123 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaac Guerendo. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at No. 188 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens in slot 247 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
