Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B

Tuten should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Bhayshul Tuten at the 241st overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at Round 2, Pick 26 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at No. 89 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kevin Winston Jr. in the 126th pick, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick165 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Circle this one: Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 165 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
They will replay Bhayshul Tuten at pick 241 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
