Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB
The Texans let Tuten fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Bhayshul Tuten slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at Round 7, Pick 24. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Bernard pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 28 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at pick No. 57 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Darien Porter
The board had Darien Porter higher than the Round 3 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick126 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Taking Gunnar Helm in the 126th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick141 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Barrett Carter in pick 141, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jake Slaughter
Nothing to complain about; Jake Slaughter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
A running back of that caliber at the 238th pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaylen Reed in Round 7, Pick 27. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick243 Rnd7 Germie Bernard
They left a pile of value on the table to take Germie Bernard this early at pick 243. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
