Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Tuten: B.

When a board-topper like Bhayshul Tuten slides to slot 241, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 25th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They robbed the room for Tyler Booker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They barely believed it either: Xavier Watts still on the board at pick 89. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick126 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Taking Barrett Carter in pick No. 126 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick164 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at slot 164 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
The board fumbled Bhayshul Tuten all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
