Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Tuten: B.

When a board-topper like Bhayshul Tuten slides to the 241st pick, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in the 89th overall pick, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in No. 126 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
They will replay Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 165 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Taking Bhayshul Tuten in slot 241 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
