Grand theft in the 241st pick: the Texans steal Tuten and grade out a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 155 name on the board, stolen at Round 7, Pick 25. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Reaching for Broughton left real value on the table behind him. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker

In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a cornerstone up front, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.

Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren

Tyler Warren is a better player than pick 58 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.

Pick89 Rnd3 Xavier Watts

Xavier Watts in pick No. 89 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.

Pick126 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton

Vernon Broughton at the 126th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.

Pick165 Rnd5 Sonny Styles

A safety of that caliber at No. 165 is the definition of value, full stop. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
