Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Texans a B, Tuten and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Bhayshul Tuten at the 241st pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at the 89th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra slipping to the 126th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at pick No. 165 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in No. 241 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
