Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Max Melton got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at Round 4, Pick 23.

If Okie-Anoma pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 23 they get protection for the quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
The board had T'Vondre Sweat higher than the Round 2 slot, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 23 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Max Melton
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Max Melton in slot 123, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaac Guerendo. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick224 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Taking Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in No. 224 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
A wild overpay on Eyabi Okie-Anoma in pick 238, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at the 247th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
