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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Ollie Gordon II slide 75 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The Nwankpa reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick 19 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Taking Tyler Booker in slot 55 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at Round 3, Pick 22 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Circle this one: Barrett Carter at No. 122 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick164 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
A real head-scratcher, Xavier Nwankpa in the 164th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick239 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in pick No. 239 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
