Draft Grade — Texans
Overall D-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureD+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Gordon II: D-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ollie Gordon II had no business being available in pick 238, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The cost of the Morrison reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick No. 4 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick22 Rnd1 Mason Graham
Value with a capital V on Mason Graham in pick 22, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick25 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In slot 25 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Abdul Carter
They barely believed it either: Abdul Carter still on the board at the Round 2 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick53 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in No. 53 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick87 Rnd3 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at Round 3, Pick 23 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 88th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 123rd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick166 Rnd5 Benjamin Morrison
A real head-scratcher, Benjamin Morrison in pick No. 166 is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick238 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Steal is underselling it; Ollie Gordon II at No. 238 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
