Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 241st overall pick lands the Texans a B, Gordon II and all.

The board owed the Texans one, and it paid up: Ollie Gordon II, the No. 166 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 241 like a gift left on the doorstep.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 57th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Colston Loveland in slot 89, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the 126th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick164 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in No. 164, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Taking Ollie Gordon II in pick No. 241 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
