Grand theft in pick No. 239: the Texans steal Tuten and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 156 name on the board, stolen at slot 239. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Nwankpa reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick19 Rnd1 Mason Graham

In slot 19 they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.

Pick55 Rnd2 Tyler Warren

They read the board right and Tyler Warren was the payoff at the 55th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.

Pick86 Rnd3 Luke Kandra

A swing that ignored the value entirely, Luke Kandra well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.

Pick122 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba

They will replay Andrew Mukuba at Round 4, Pick 21 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.

Pick164 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa

They left a pile of value on the table to take Xavier Nwankpa this early at No. 164. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
