Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Gordon II: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ollie Gordon II got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at the 241st overall pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If Jackson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A real head-scratcher, Donovan Jackson in the 57th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 89, where Andrew Mukuba graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick126 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick164 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
A straight-up fair deal on Eli Stowers at the 164th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Somehow Ollie Gordon II was still sitting there in No. 241, and they pounced on premier running back value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
