Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 236 lands the Texans a B, Tuten and all.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 155 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 236. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will need Capehart to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 20 they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Booker in the Round 2 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 3, Pick 20 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They reached into another round for DeMonte Capehart, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
They barely believed it either: Sonny Styles still on the board at slot 164. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick236 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
A running back of that caliber at the 236th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
