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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Bhayshul Tuten slide 87 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 25 they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in pick No. 58 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Fair-plus on Donovan Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at No. 126 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick165 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the 241st pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
