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

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Ollie Gordon II, the No. 168 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 241.

The Capehart reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
They will replay Ashton Jeanty at Round 1, Pick 25 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 57th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in No. 89 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
A swing that ignored the value entirely, DeMonte Capehart well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Taking Billy Bowman Jr. in pick 164 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Somehow Ollie Gordon II was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
