Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on 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. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in pick 25 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 25 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They will replay Deone Walker at slot 89 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They robbed the room for Andrew Mukuba here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick164 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Billy Bowman Jr. at No. 164 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
The board fumbled Bhayshul Tuten all the way to the 241st pick, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
