Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 241: the Texans steal Gordon II and grade out a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Ollie Gordon II tumbling to the Texans in the 241st overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: running back settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a wrecking ball inside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 57th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
No edge and no loss on Donovan Jackson in pick 89; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
The board fumbled Kevin Winston Jr. all the way to the 126th pick, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick164 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
By-the-book stuff, Eli Stowers at No. 164 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
