Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Texans a B, Tuten and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 151 name on the board, stolen at pick 241.

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.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tate Ratledge
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Somehow Tyler Booker was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 26, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Alfred Collins in pick 89, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 126 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick164 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
You do not let a tight end like Oronde Gadsden II reach the 164th pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the 241st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
