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

Call it larceny. Ollie Gordon II sat on the board until the Round 7 slot, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. Ratledge has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Job largely done: running back settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 25th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Circle this one: Tyler Booker at slot 57 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. in pick 89 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Somehow Kevin Winston Jr. was still sitting there in pick No. 126, and they pounced on premier safety value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick164 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the 164th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
