Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Tuten from sliding. Grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Bhayshul Tuten slide 86 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
By-the-book stuff, Kenneth Grant at Round 1, Pick 25 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 58th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Taking Andrew Mukuba in the 89th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick126 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
No drama and no debate, Oronde Gadsden II went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at No. 165 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
They robbed the room for Bhayshul Tuten here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
