Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans

The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Tuten: B. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 157 name on the board, stolen at the 241st overall pick. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In pick 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
They will replay Tyler Booker at the 57th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89
Rnd3
Gunnar Helm
A tidy bit of business in slot 89, where Gunnar Helm graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Andrew Mukuba in No. 126, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick164
Rnd5
Barrett Carter
Somehow Barrett Carter was still sitting there in pick No. 164, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241
Rnd7
Bhayshul Tuten
Taking Bhayshul Tuten in the 241st overall pick 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.
