Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Tuten: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 155 name on the board, stolen at the 241st overall pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a load in the middle, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They will replay Emeka Egbuka at No. 58 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick No. 89 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in pick 126 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at the 165th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Bhayshul Tuten in slot 241, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
