Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Luke McCaffrey, 26 picks early at pick 123. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Sainristil at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at No. 42 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
A conviction pick on Ruke Orhorhoro at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil slid further than he should have, and pick 86 is lovely value for the cornerback. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick123 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in pick No. 123 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They paid sticker price for Isaac Guerendo in the 127th pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
A big swing on Tanner McLachlan at the 188th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A premium they did not need to pay, Tyler Owens a notch or two before his time. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
