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

Call it larceny. Ollie Gordon II sat on the board until pick No. 241, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. 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.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tate Ratledge
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick 57 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They robbed the room for Alfred Collins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick164 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in No. 164 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Steal is underselling it; Ollie Gordon II at the 241st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
