Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Texans a B, Gordon II and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Ollie Gordon II tumbling to the Texans in the 241st overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Noel pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in pick No. 58 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at Round 3, Pick 25 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
They paid a round early for Jaylin Noel in pick 126, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick165 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
They barely believed it either: Billy Bowman Jr. still on the board at the 165th overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They will replay Ollie Gordon II at slot 241 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
