Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Gordon II should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Ollie Gordon II at the 241st pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Capehart has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In pick No. 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
They robbed the room for Isaiah Bond here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 DeMonte Capehart
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for DeMonte Capehart. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 126 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick164 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in slot 164 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They barely believed it either: Ollie Gordon II still on the board at the 241st overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
