Draft Grade — Texans

Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the Texans steal Gordon II and grade out a B.

Somebody in Round 7, Pick 25 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Texans sat still while Ollie Gordon II, the No. 158 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The Jackson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a load in the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Value said wait; Donovan Jackson in pick 58 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the 89th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick126 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at the 126th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
The board fumbled Danny Stutsman all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 241 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
