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

You could see the war room lean forward. Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 241 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If Majors pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 25 they get a ballhawk on the back end at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick58 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in pick 58 with a little surplus value in Harold Fannin Jr.. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick79 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
They talked themselves into Dylan Fairchild at the 79th pick, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They reached into another round for Jake Majors, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick166 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at Round 5, Pick 28 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick236 Rnd7 Maxen Hook
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Maxen Hook well ahead of where he belonged. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Taking Bhayshul Tuten in No. 241 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
