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

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Ollie Gordon II, the No. 159 name on the board, stolen at slot 241.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They robbed the room for Tyler Booker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in slot 89, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Circle this one: Andrew Mukuba at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick165 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Taking Oronde Gadsden II in the 165th pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They barely believed it either: Ollie Gordon II still on the board at No. 241. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
