Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Tuten should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B.

When a board-topper like Bhayshul Tuten slides to the 236th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick No. 20 they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 20, where Tyler Booker graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Watts in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick121 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. is a better player than slot 121 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick164 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in No. 164 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick236 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
They barely believed it either: Bhayshul Tuten still on the board at the 236th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
