Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Texans.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Mason McCormick in the 123rd overall pick, a good 23 spots before the room expected him.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at pick No. 59, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Javon Baker
No drama and no debate, Javon Baker went about where he belonged in the 86th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
A wild overpay on Mason McCormick in Round 4, Pick 23, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They paid a round early for Jarrian Jones in slot 127, more than the board wanted. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in pick 188 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
