Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Gordon II from sliding. Grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Ollie Gordon II slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at the 241st overall pick. Highway robbery.

If Capehart pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Job largely done: running back settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a disruptive interior force at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A quiet steal in the 58th overall pick: Tyler Warren for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the 89th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick126 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at No. 126 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in slot 241 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
