Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Tuten fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

When a board-topper like Bhayshul Tuten slides to the 239th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They will need Durant to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
A slide stopped in the Round 1 slot, with Tetairoa McMillan worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They robbed the room for Tyler Booker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Circle this one: Colston Loveland at slot 86 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Zane Durant
Value said wait; Zane Durant in the 122nd overall pick says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Xavier Nwankpa. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick239 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick 239 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
