Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Tuten from sliding. Grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 151 name on the board, stolen at the Round 7 slot. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Every board in the league had Kandra lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 25 they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at Round 2, Pick 26 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
They paid a round early for Luke Kandra in No. 89, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
You do not let a safety like Andrew Mukuba reach the 126th overall pick and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Somehow Kevin Winston Jr. was still sitting there in slot 165, and they pounced on premier safety value. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Taking Bhayshul Tuten in the 241st pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
