Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Tuten from sliding. 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 241. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Pegues reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. 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 Ashton Jeanty
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 25 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at pick 57 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in No. 89 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 JJ Pegues
They left a pile of value on the table to take JJ Pegues this early at the 126th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick164 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at slot 164 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at the 241st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
