Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Gordon II from sliding. Grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Ollie Gordon II, the No. 160 name on the board, stolen at the 236th pick. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Durant has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 20 they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They read the board right and Tyler Booker was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at pick No. 84 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at No. 121 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick164 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
They will replay Sonny Styles at the 164th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Somehow Ollie Gordon II was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 22, and they pounced on premier running back value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
