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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Ollie Gordon II slide 75 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

If Capehart pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tate Ratledge
In slot 25 they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Circle this one: Tyler Booker at No. 57 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 89 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at Round 4, Pick 25 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick164 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach the 164th overall pick and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Steal is underselling it; Ollie Gordon II at the 241st pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
