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

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Bhayshul Tuten got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at the Round 7 slot. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In No. 20 they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A slide stopped in pick 52, with Tyler Booker worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They let Deone Walker come to them and pounced at the 84th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at slot 121 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick164 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at pick No. 164 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
They barely believed it either: Bhayshul Tuten still on the board at the 236th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
