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

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Ollie Gordon II, the No. 159 name on the board, in slot 241.

The Colby reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen slipping to the Round 1 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A tidy bit of business in slot 58, where Tyler Warren graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Taking Andrew Mukuba in No. 89 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick126 Rnd4 Connor Colby
They left a pile of value on the table to take Connor Colby this early at pick No. 126. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the 165th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
You do not let a running back like Ollie Gordon II reach the 241st pick and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
