Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans let Helm fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Texans watched Gunnar Helm slide 91 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Spending an early pick on safety with wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at Round 1, Pick 25 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick 57 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the 89th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Andrew Mukuba while clear needs at wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick164 Rnd5 Gunnar Helm
The board fumbled Gunnar Helm all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the 241st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
