Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Tuten: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Bhayshul Tuten got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at the 241st overall pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Tyler Booker in the 57th overall pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Nice patience on Andrew Mukuba, who had no business lasting to No. 89. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick126 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in pick 126 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eli Stowers. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
