Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Texans, and a B- to prove it.

Everything else got attention, and edge rusher got none. That is a strange way for the Texans to leave a draft.

McClellan has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Nubin at the 42nd pick, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick59 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the 59th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick86 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in Round 3, Pick 23 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in pick 123 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick127 Rnd4 Christian Jones
By-the-book stuff, Christian Jones at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
They went early on Jase McClellan in No. 188, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
No edge and no loss on LaDarius Henderson in slot 247; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
