Draft Grade — Texans

The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Gordon II: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Ollie Gordon II tumbling to the Texans in No. 241 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Reaching for Jackson left real value on the table behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tate Ratledge
In pick 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Value said wait; Donovan Jackson in No. 57 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Fair-plus on Darrell Jackson Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at slot 126 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick164 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in Round 5, Pick 26 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ollie Gordon II in the 241st pick, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
