Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Tuten: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Bhayshul Tuten got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at the 241st pick. No fireworks, but a solid B.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. With wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick 25 they get a disruptive interior force at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
You do not let an offensive lineman like Tyler Booker reach slot 57 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Watts at pick No. 89 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A surprising call. With wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots still to address, they spent Round 4, Pick 25 on Kevin Winston Jr., a safety they were not short of.
Pick164 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
No drama and no debate, Eli Stowers went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the 241st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
