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

You could see the war room lean forward. Ollie Gordon II at the 241st overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 25 they get a load in the middle at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They barely believed it either: Tyler Booker still on the board at slot 57. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in Round 3, Pick 25 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
The board fumbled Barrett Carter all the way to the 126th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick164 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Billy Bowman Jr. in pick 164, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in pick No. 241 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
