Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Carter. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Barrett Carter slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at the Round 5 slot. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They will need Ratledge to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tate Ratledge
In No. 25 they get a blindside protector, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at pick No. 57 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
No drama and no debate, Donovan Jackson went about where he belonged in pick 89. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the 126th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick164 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Circle this one: Barrett Carter at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
The board fumbled Ollie Gordon II all the way to Round 7, Pick 27, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
