Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 241: the Texans steal Tuten and grade out a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Bhayshul Tuten, Round 7, Pick 27, roughly 83 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: running back settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 25th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick 57 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in the 89th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
You do not let a safety like Kevin Winston Jr. reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick164 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Somehow Billy Bowman Jr. was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 26, and they pounced on premier safety value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 241, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
