Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Gordon II: B.

Somebody in pick No. 241 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. 166 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in No. 57 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Colston Loveland in the 89th overall pick, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They will replay Andrew Mukuba at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick164 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at slot 164 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in Round 7, Pick 27 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
