Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Texans: B-.

Nobody else had Ty'Ron Hopper anywhere near pick No. 127. The Texans did, by 54 spots, and that gap is the whole story. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
They read the board right and Cooper DeJean was the payoff at the 42nd overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick59 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Roman Wilson in slot 59. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
A big swing on Leonard Taylor III at the 86th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
No edge and no loss on Isaac Guerendo in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
Value said wait; Ty'Ron Hopper in Round 4, Pick 27 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tanner McLachlan this early at No. 188. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
