Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
McGlothern should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B+.

Whoever sat across the table from the Texans should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

They banked enough surplus on McGlothern to cover a lot of smaller sins. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A reasonable price with a little left over, T'Vondre Sweat in the 49th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A tidy bit of business in No. 59, where Edgerrin Cooper graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86 Rnd3 Cade Stover
The board had Cade Stover higher than the 86th overall pick, and the tight end fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick97 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at pick 97 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick123 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at slot 123 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Blake Fisher in the 127th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
A clean, defensible pick in No. 149 with a little surplus value in Tommy Eichenberg. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick187 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
They let Khristian Boyd come to them and pounced at pick 187. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick247 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Value with a capital V on Edefuan Ulofoshio in pick No. 247, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
