Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Texans
Overall

FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Tuten: B. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Bhayshul Tuten slide 84 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The bottom line is a respectable B.
Jackson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 25 they get a true top target at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the Round 2 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at No. 89 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 126 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick164
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at Round 5, Pick 26 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick241
Rnd7
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in pick 241 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
