Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Tuten. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Bhayshul Tuten slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at the 239th pick. Highway robbery. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Reaching for Durant left real value on the table behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick 55 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They paid sticker price for Donovan Jackson in the 86th pick, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Zane Durant
Zane Durant in pick No. 122 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick164 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at slot 164 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick239 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at No. 239 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
