Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The Texans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

There is a lot to like until you notice edge rusher is still a hole. The Texans never got to the one that mattered most. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Johnson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Every board in the league had McGlothern lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick 26 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the 44th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper Beebe. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 James Williams
No drama and no debate, James Williams went about where he belonged in pick No. 123. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick136 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A slide stopped in the 136th overall pick, with Theo Johnson worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at slot 147 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick220 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick224 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at No. 224 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. The roster fit checks out.
