Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Tuten: B.

The board owed the Texans one, and it paid up: Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 155 name on the board, sitting there at the 241st pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

They are betting Capehart proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 25th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Somehow Tyler Booker was still sitting there in the 58th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in Round 3, Pick 25 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for DeMonte Capehart. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at pick No. 165 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at slot 241 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
