Thirty-one other rooms let Bhayshul Tuten slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at No. 241. Highway robbery.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Noel reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 23
Kenneth Grant in the Round 1 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Colston Loveland · TE · rank 26
Steal is underselling it; Colston Loveland at the 58th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Dylan Fairchild · OG · rank 86
Fair-plus on Dylan Fairchild, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.25 · Pick 126 · Jaylin Noel · WR · rank 141
A reach on Jaylin Noel in pick No. 126; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.28 · Pick 165 · Sonny Styles · S · rank 122
The board fumbled Sonny Styles all the way to slot 165, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · Bhayshul Tuten · RB · rank 156
Bhayshul Tuten at Round 7, Pick 25 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
