Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Gordon II should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Ollie Gordon II, the No. 166 name on the board, stolen at slot 241. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Capehart has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a true top target at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Tate Ratledge in pick No. 57, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Taking Colston Loveland in the 89th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at pick 126 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
You do not let a safety like Kevin Winston Jr. reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at No. 241 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
