Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Gordon II: B.

Call it larceny. Ollie Gordon II sat on the board until slot 235, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice.

The cost of the Nwankpa reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 19th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A slide stopped in the 53rd pick, with Tyler Booker worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick84 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in pick No. 84 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Somehow Andrew Mukuba was still sitting there in pick 120, and they pounced on premier safety value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick164 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
This one needs a full-page explanation: Xavier Nwankpa in the Round 5 slot, miles early. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick235 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at Round 7, Pick 19 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
