Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Texans
Overall
B
ValueB+

TradesB-
FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Gordon II: B. The rest of the league will want that one back. Ollie Gordon II tumbling to the Texans in No. 239 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. No fireworks, but a solid B.
A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. The Nwankpa pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
Good price on Walter Nolen in Round 1, Pick 19, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick55
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
A slide stopped in pick No. 55, with Tyler Warren worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
They took Donovan Jackson at par in the 86th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
A tidy bit of business in pick 122, where Luke Kandra graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick164
Rnd5
Xavier Nwankpa
They reached a country mile for Xavier Nwankpa at slot 164, and the board is aghast. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick239
Rnd7
Ollie Gordon II
Somehow Ollie Gordon II was still sitting there in No. 239, and they pounced on premier running back value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
