Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Tuten. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Bhayshul Tuten sat on the board until slot 241, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice.

They will answer for taking safety early while wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots went begging. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 25th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in slot 57 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Circle this one: Xavier Watts at the 89th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Andrew Mukuba adds a safety and leaves wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots untouched.
Pick164 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
They paid sticker price for Eli Stowers in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Somehow Bhayshul Tuten was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 27, and they pounced on premier running back value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
