Draft Grade — Texans

Grand theft in slot 241: the Texans steal Tuten and grade out a B.

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 155 name on the board, in the 241st pick.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Job largely done: running back settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Value with a capital V on Tyler Warren in slot 58, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Donovan Jackson in No. 89. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
A tidy little value on Sonny Styles in the 126th pick, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick165 Rnd5 Connor Colby
A straight-up fair deal on Connor Colby at pick 165, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 241 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
