Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Gordon II: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Ollie Gordon II slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at the 236th pick. Highway robbery.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan in the Round 1 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick52 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at No. 52 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick84 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker slid further than he should have, and the 84th pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in Round 4, Pick 20 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
They will replay Sonny Styles at slot 164 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Circle this one: Ollie Gordon II at pick No. 236 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
