Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Gordon II fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Somebody in the Round 7 slot 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. 164 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: running back settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick No. 25 they get a wrecking ball inside, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Nice patience on Tyler Warren, who had no business lasting to pick 58. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at Round 3, Pick 25 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in the 126th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at the 165th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
The board fumbled Ollie Gordon II all the way to No. 241, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
