Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the Texans steal Tuten and grade out a B-.

When a board-topper like Bhayshul Tuten slides to slot 241, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Mukuba pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots still on the board.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In the 25th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Tyleik Williams at Round 2, Pick 25, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in No. 89 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
A surprising call. With wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots still to address, they spent slot 126 on Andrew Mukuba, a safety they were not short of.
Pick164 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
No edge and no loss on Eli Stowers in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Taking Bhayshul Tuten in pick 241 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
