Grand theft in slot 241: the Texans steal Tuten and grade out a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Bhayshul Tuten tumbling to the Texans in Round 7, Pick 25 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Every board in the league had Colby lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 25th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Warren at slot 58. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Deone Walker
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Deone Walker reach pick 89 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Connor Colby
They talked themselves into Connor Colby at pick No. 126, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at Round 7, Pick 25 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
