Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD+ FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Gordon II: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Ollie Gordon II tumbling to the Texans in pick No. 212 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They took Donovan Jackson at par in the 58th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
No edge and no loss on Ozzy Trapilo in pick No. 79; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Circle this one: Elijah Arroyo at the 91st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nick Nash in slot 166. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick176 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
A clean, defensible pick in pick 176 with a little surplus value in DJ Giddens. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick212 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
A running back of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
They barely believed it either: Luke Lachey still on the board at No. 236. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Shemar James
Shemar James at Round 7, Pick 25 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick243 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Theo Wease Jr.. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
