Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Gordon II from sliding. Grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ollie Gordon II, the Round 7 slot, roughly 83 picks past where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

If Capehart pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. 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 Tyler Booker
In pick No. 25 they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren slipping to Round 2, Pick 26 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in pick 89 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Taking Kevin Winston Jr. in the 126th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick165 Rnd5 Connor Colby
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Connor Colby. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Steal is underselling it; Ollie Gordon II at slot 241 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
