Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Texans: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Texans shredded theirs for Tanner McLachlan. He came off 22 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Colson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 23rd overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick59 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 59 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85 Rnd3 Junior Colson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Junior Colson in the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
A reach on Jaheim Bell in slot 124; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
A reach for Luke McCaffrey in Round 4, Pick 28; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at pick 161 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Blake Watson
The board had Blake Watson higher than the 236th overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at slot 245 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
