Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Gordon II fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

When a board-topper like Ollie Gordon II slides to slot 241, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not.

If Jackson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In the 25th overall pick they get a building block for the line, reach and all.
Pick57 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 57th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Taking Alfred Collins in slot 89 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They will replay Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 126 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick164 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in pick 164 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Somehow Ollie Gordon II was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 27, and they pounced on premier running back value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
