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

Call it larceny. Bhayshul Tuten sat on the board until slot 241, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Every board in the league had Kandra lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 25th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 57 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
They reached a country mile for Luke Kandra at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
You do not let a safety like Kevin Winston Jr. reach slot 126 and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick164 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at No. 164 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Taking Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 241 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
