Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD-
The Texans turned the phones into found money: B.

The war room fell hard for Ty'Ron Hopper, and it showed at slot 126: 51 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The Mitchell pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 23 they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Steal is underselling it; Quinyon Mitchell at the 59th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
They barely believed it either: Kingsley Suamataia still on the board at pick 86. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 87th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
You do not let a cornerback like Max Melton reach the 88th pick and blink. They did not. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick122 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in pick 122 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
They reached a country mile for Ty'Ron Hopper at Round 4, Pick 26, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
A straight-up fair deal on Tanner McLachlan at the 224th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Owens at No. 238. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick247 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They reached into another round for Sam Hartman, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
