Draft Grade — Texans
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Tuten: A-.

The Texans did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Bhayshul Tuten fell into No. 236. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In the end it comes back to Armand Membou, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In No. 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
Nice patience on Xavier Restrepo, who had no business lasting to slot 79. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in the 89th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Emery Jones Jr. in the Round 4 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick166 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
You do not let a running back like Brashard Smith reach pick No. 166 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
They barely believed it either: Bhayshul Tuten still on the board at the 236th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Steal is underselling it; Oronde Gadsden II at Round 7, Pick 25 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
