Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Texans and Tuten: B. The rest of the league will want that one back. Bhayshul Tuten tumbling to the Texans in pick 241 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If Kandra pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick 58 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89
Rnd3
Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at the 89th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
They robbed the room for Andrew Mukuba here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick164
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241
Rnd7
Bhayshul Tuten
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 241, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
