Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Gordon II: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Ollie Gordon II, the No. 159 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 241. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 25th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Tyler Booker in slot 58, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Circle this one: Andrew Mukuba at Round 3, Pick 25 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick126 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
They took Oronde Gadsden II at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick165 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
They robbed the room for Smael Mondon Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Steal is underselling it; Ollie Gordon II at pick 241 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
