Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Tuten should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 241 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
The board had Colston Loveland higher than the 57th pick, and the tight end fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in slot 89 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 126 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick164 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
They robbed the room for Billy Bowman Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Taking Bhayshul Tuten in pick 241 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
