Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Carter: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Barrett Carter at the 164th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They are betting Jackson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tate Ratledge
In slot 25 they get a building block for the line at fair value.
Pick57 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They reached a country mile for Donovan Jackson at the Round 2 slot, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
The board fumbled Alfred Collins all the way to pick 89, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Taking Kevin Winston Jr. in the 126th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick164 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in the 164th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 241 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
