Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Gordon II fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ollie Gordon II got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at the 241st overall pick.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
You do not let a wide receiver like Tetairoa McMillan reach the 25th overall pick and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
The board had Tyler Warren higher than the 58th pick, and the tight end fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Watts at slot 89 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick126 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Circle this one: Luke Kandra at pick No. 126 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in Round 5, Pick 28 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at No. 241 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
