Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans

Draft Grade — Texans

Larceny in the 239th pick lands the Texans a B, Tuten and all. The rest of the league will want that one back. Bhayshul Tuten tumbling to the Texans in pick No. 239 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In pick 19 they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Taking Tyler Booker in pick No. 55 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the 86th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick122
Rnd4
Barrett Carter
Steal is underselling it; Barrett Carter at Round 4, Pick 21 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick164
Rnd5
Eli Stowers
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eli Stowers. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239
Rnd7
Bhayshul Tuten
Circle this one: Bhayshul Tuten at the 239th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
