Overall B-

ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-

Gordon II should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ollie Gordon II had no business being available in pick No. 241, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The cost of the Jackson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant

In No. 25 they get a load in the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.

Pick57 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson

Donovan Jackson at pick No. 57 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.

Pick89 Rnd3 Tyler Warren

Tyler Warren at pick 89 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.

Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.

Kevin Winston Jr. in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.

Pick164 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts

Jaeden Roberts at Round 5, Pick 26 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
