Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Gordon II from sliding. Grade: B.

Call it larceny. Ollie Gordon II sat on the board until slot 241, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Every board in the league had Booker lower, and that gap is the story.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In slot 25 they get a building block for the line, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tre Harris
They barely believed it either: Tre Harris still on the board at pick No. 57. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Good price on Darrell Jackson Jr. in the 89th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in Round 4, Pick 25 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick164 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at pick 164 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They robbed the room for Ollie Gordon II here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
