Call it larceny. Bhayshul Tuten sat on the board until the 241st overall pick, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice.
They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Booker lower, and that gap is the story.
On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
Tyler Booker in the Round 1 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Tyler Warren is a better player than Round 2, Pick 26 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
They will replay Jalen Royals at the 89th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at the 126th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
They barely believed it either: Sonny Styles still on the board at pick 165. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Bhayshul Tuten at slot 241 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
