Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Tuten fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Call it larceny. Bhayshul Tuten sat on the board until slot 241, and the Texans did not need to be asked twice. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a disruptive interior force at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at pick 57 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Circle this one: Xavier Watts at pick No. 89 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick126 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra slid further than he should have, and No. 126 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick164 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
The board fumbled Mason Taylor all the way to the 164th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
