The Texans let Gordon II fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Ollie Gordon II, the No. 160 name on the board, stolen at slot 235. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They are betting Nwankpa proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Booker at the 53rd pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at slot 84 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at No. 120 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick164 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
This one needs a full-page explanation: Xavier Nwankpa in pick No. 164, miles early. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick235 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in pick 235 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
