Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Gordon II fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ollie Gordon II had no business being available in slot 236, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The cost of the Jackson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 20th pick they get a matchup problem out wide, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A wild overpay on Donovan Jackson in slot 52, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 20 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick121 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A safety of that caliber at the 121st overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick164 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
They took Eli Stowers at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
You do not let a running back like Ollie Gordon II reach pick 236 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
