Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 241st pick: the Texans steal Gordon II and grade out a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Ollie Gordon II, the No. 164 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 241.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mason Graham
Mason Graham at pick No. 25 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
A slide stopped in the 58th overall pick, with Colston Loveland worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
They will replay Luke Kandra at No. 126 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Circle this one: Sonny Styles at Round 5, Pick 28 is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
A running back of that caliber at pick 241 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
