Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for McClellan. Final grade: B-.

When a board-topper like Jase McClellan slides to the Round 7 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. If Hall Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 42 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick59 Rnd2 Michael Hall Jr.
They jumped the gun on Michael Hall Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick86 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They barely believed it either: Cooper Beebe still on the board at No. 86. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123 Rnd4 Maason Smith
The board fumbled Maason Smith all the way to the 123rd pick, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Taking Caelen Carson in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick188 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at the 188th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton in slot 189 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at Round 7, Pick 18 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
They robbed the room for Jase McClellan here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
