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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Bhayshul Tuten, the 241st overall pick, roughly 86 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Job largely done: running back settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Taking Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 26 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
You do not let a safety like Andrew Mukuba reach the 126th pick and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in pick No. 165 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
They robbed the room for Bhayshul Tuten here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
