Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Tuten: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Bhayshul Tuten slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at the 241st overall pick. Highway robbery. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Mukuba pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots still on the board.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a building block for the line, reach and all.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at pick 57 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick89 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They robbed the room for Xavier Watts here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
A want over a need in slot 126: Andrew Mukuba adds a safety while wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick164 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the 241st pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
