Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Gordon II fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ollie Gordon II had no business being available in pick No. 236, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Capehart has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 20th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at No. 52 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 DeMonte Capehart
A big swing on DeMonte Capehart at pick 84, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at slot 121 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Billy Bowman Jr. in pick No. 164, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They will replay Ollie Gordon II at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
