Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Gordon II fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ollie Gordon II got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at pick 241. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Every board in the league had Jackson lower, and that gap is the story. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Job largely done: running back settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In slot 25 they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 57th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 89th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
A safety of that caliber at No. 126 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick 164 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They barely believed it either: Ollie Gordon II still on the board at the Round 7 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
