Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Tuten. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Bhayshul Tuten got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 241. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Spending an early pick on safety with wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

If Booker pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
They liked Tyler Booker enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 1, Pick 25. The roster fit checks out.
Pick57 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at slot 57 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick89 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Circle this one: Colston Loveland at the 89th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Andrew Mukuba at safety with wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick164 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at No. 164 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the 241st pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
