Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 241st pick lands the Texans a B, Gordon II and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ollie Gordon II got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at slot 241. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The cost of the Jackson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mason Graham
They robbed the room for Mason Graham here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A real head-scratcher, Donovan Jackson in slot 57 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
They barely believed it either: Colston Loveland still on the board at No. 89. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They will replay Andrew Mukuba at pick 126 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick164 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at Round 5, Pick 26 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the 241st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
