Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Tuten fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Bhayshul Tuten got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 241. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They are betting Kandra proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 25th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
The board fumbled Jalon Walker all the way to pick No. 57, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
They left a pile of value on the table to take Luke Kandra this early at slot 89. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Steal is underselling it; Andrew Mukuba at pick 126 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 164 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
