Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Tuten from sliding. Grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Bhayshul Tuten had no business being available in slot 243, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Gadsden II reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 25 they get a wrecking ball inside. 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. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A conviction pick on Savion Williams at No. 89 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
They paid a round early for Oronde Gadsden II in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick167 Rnd5 Robert Spears-Jennings
They robbed the room for Robert Spears-Jennings here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick243 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at the 243rd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
