Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B

Grand theft in slot 241: the Texans steal Tuten and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 158 name on the board, stolen at pick 241.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick No. 25 they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
You do not let an offensive lineman like Tyler Booker reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Benjamin Morrison
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 89 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at the 126th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick164 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in slot 164 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at No. 241 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
