Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 243rd overall pick: the Texans steal Tuten and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 165 name on the board, stolen at pick 243.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 25th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in No. 58 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Matthew Golden
Taking Matthew Golden in pick No. 89 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Dylan Fairchild in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick167 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at pick 167 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick243 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the 243rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
