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

The Texans did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Ollie Gordon II fell into pick 241. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 25th pick they get a load in the middle, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 89 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They robbed the room for Andrew Mukuba here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Steal is underselling it; Sonny Styles at pick 165 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They will replay Ollie Gordon II at Round 7, Pick 25 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
