Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Tuten. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Bhayshul Tuten sat on the board until the 241st overall pick, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Booker lower, and that gap is the story.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the Round 1 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren is a better player than Round 2, Pick 26 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
They will replay Jalen Royals at the 89th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at the 126th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
They barely believed it either: Sonny Styles still on the board at pick 165. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at slot 241 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
