Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans

The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Tuten: B. You build a draft on nights like this. Bhayshul Tuten had no business being available in No. 241, and the Texans did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In the 25th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57
Rnd2
Marcus Mbow
They paid sticker price for Marcus Mbow in No. 57, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in slot 89 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick126
Rnd4
Barrett Carter
Somehow Barrett Carter was still sitting there in pick 126, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick164
Rnd5
Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at the 164th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick241
Rnd7
Bhayshul Tuten
The board fumbled Bhayshul Tuten all the way to Round 7, Pick 27, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
