When a board-topper like Bhayshul Tuten slides to the 243rd pick, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not.
They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 25 they get a load in the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.
The board fumbled Walter Nolen all the way to Round 2, Pick 26, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Tate Ratledge in No. 89 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Elijah Arroyo in pick No. 127 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
You do not let a safety like Lathan Ransom reach the 167th pick and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Somehow Bhayshul Tuten was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
