Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Tuten fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Bhayshul Tuten slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at the 241st pick. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They will replay Tyler Booker at slot 57 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Colston Loveland in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 126 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick164 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Somehow Billy Bowman Jr. was still sitting there in pick No. 164, and they pounced on premier safety value. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
They robbed the room for Bhayshul Tuten here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
