Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 27: the Texans steal Gordon II and grade out a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Ollie Gordon II slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at slot 241. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 25 they get a go-to option on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
The board fumbled Tyler Booker all the way to slot 57, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in No. 89 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the 126th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick164 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach Round 5, Pick 26 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
A running back of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
