Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Texans would have aced it. Tanner McLachlan at the 245th pick is 45 spots clear of where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

However the rest shakes out, Ali at that price is a win they earned. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 23rd overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Roman Wilson in pick No. 85. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They paid sticker price for Tommy Eichenberg in Round 4, Pick 24, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick128 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at pick 128 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malik Mustapha in slot 161, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick236 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
Steal is underselling it; Rasheen Ali at Round 7, Pick 16 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at No. 245 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
