Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Tuten should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B.

Call it larceny. Bhayshul Tuten sat on the board until slot 243, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 25th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 58th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dylan Fairchild. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
A tight end of that caliber at pick 127 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick167 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in No. 167 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick243 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Steal is underselling it; Bhayshul Tuten at slot 243 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
