Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 86th overall pick: the Texans steal Fiske and grade out a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Braden Fiske got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at Round 3, Pick 23.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. Reaching for McLachlan left real value on the table behind him.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Value with a capital V on Brian Thomas Jr. in the 42nd overall pick, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick59 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Payton Wilson in No. 59. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Circle this one: Braden Fiske at the 86th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cam Hart
You do not let a cornerback like Cam Hart reach slot 123 and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in Round 4, Pick 27 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
A wild overpay on Tanner McLachlan in pick 188, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A conviction pick on Tyler Owens at pick No. 247 that the board grades a round light. It adds depth where they could use a little.
