Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans

Draft Grade — Texans

Larceny in slot 164 lands the Texans a B, Carter and all. You could see the war room lean forward. Barrett Carter at slot 164 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In the 25th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at Round 2, Pick 25 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89
Rnd3
Colston Loveland
A tight end of that caliber at pick 89 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
They robbed the room for Kevin Winston Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick164
Rnd5
Barrett Carter
Taking Barrett Carter in slot 164 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick241
Rnd7
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at pick No. 241 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
