Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Tuten: B.

When a board-topper like Bhayshul Tuten slides to slot 241, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 25th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Taking Colston Loveland in slot 58 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at Round 3, Pick 25 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jack Bech
You do not let a wide receiver like Jack Bech reach the 126th pick and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
A safety of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick 241 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
