Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Gordon II: B.

When a board-topper like Ollie Gordon II slides to the Round 7 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: running back settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
No drama and no debate, Kenneth Grant went about where he belonged in slot 25. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick No. 57 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in No. 89 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A safety of that caliber at the 126th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick164 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in the 164th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
You do not let a running back like Ollie Gordon II reach pick 241 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
