Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 241 lands the Texans a B, Tuten and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Bhayshul Tuten had no business being available in the 241st pick, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. They are betting Booker proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In the 25th pick they get protection for the quarterback, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Taking Tate Ratledge in Round 2, Pick 25 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They barely believed it either: Deone Walker still on the board at slot 89. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They robbed the room for Kevin Winston Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick164 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Circle this one: Billy Bowman Jr. at No. 164 is a fall that decides a draft. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
They will replay Bhayshul Tuten at the 241st overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
