Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Carson should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B.

The Texans did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Caelen Carson fell into slot 123. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. Reaching for McLachlan left real value on the table behind him.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
Circle this one: Dallas Turner at the 42nd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
No drama and no debate, Braden Fiske went about where he belonged in the 59th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86 Rnd3 Javon Baker
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Baker at slot 86, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
The board fumbled Caelen Carson all the way to No. 123, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They paid sticker price for Isaac Guerendo in Round 4, Pick 27, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tanner McLachlan in pick No. 188, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at the Round 7 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
