Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans

Tuten should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Bhayshul Tuten, the 241st pick, roughly 90 picks past where he belonged.
The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
The board fumbled Tyler Booker all the way to slot 58, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89
Rnd3
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in Round 3, Pick 25 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126
Rnd4
Barrett Carter
Taking Barrett Carter in pick No. 126 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick164
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
Somehow Kevin Winston Jr. was still sitting there in No. 164, and they pounced on premier safety value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick241
Rnd7
Bhayshul Tuten
Steal is underselling it; Bhayshul Tuten at pick 241 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
