Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Tuten fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Bhayshul Tuten at slot 241 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Spending an early pick on safety with wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Every board in the league had Durant lower, and that gap is the story. Job largely done: running back settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In the 25th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early.
Pick57 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at slot 57. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick89 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in pick 89 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 4 slot on Andrew Mukuba with wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick164 Rnd5 Zane Durant
They jumped the gun on Zane Durant, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Steal is underselling it; Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 241 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
