Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Tuten: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Bhayshul Tuten got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at No. 241. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick 57 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
They will replay Zy Alexander at the 89th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Somehow Kevin Winston Jr. was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 25, and they pounced on premier safety value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick164 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
They took Eli Stowers at par in slot 164, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Taking Bhayshul Tuten in the 241st pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
