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

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Ruke Orhorhoro, the No. 66 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 86. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Owens pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In No. 23 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kiran Amegadjie. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cole Bishop at pick No. 123. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick127 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the 127th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
Value with a capital V on Tanner McLachlan in slot 224, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at Round 7, Pick 18 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick247 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They will replay Frank Gore Jr. at pick 247 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
