Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Gordon II: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Ollie Gordon II, the No. 160 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 236. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: running back settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a wrecking ball inside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick 52 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Value with a capital V on Deone Walker in pick No. 84, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A safety of that caliber at the 121st pick is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick164 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Circle this one: Sonny Styles at slot 164 is a fall that decides a draft. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in No. 236 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
