Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 236: the Texans steal Gordon II and grade out a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ollie Gordon II got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at slot 236.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
They paid sticker price for Kenneth Grant in pick No. 20, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They let Tyler Booker come to them and pounced at the 52nd pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Taking Xavier Watts in No. 84 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick121 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in slot 121 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
By-the-book stuff, Eli Stowers at pick 164 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
The board fumbled Ollie Gordon II all the way to the 236th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
