Draft Grade — Texans
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
The Texans won the night they stopped Tuten from sliding. Grade: A-.

When a board-topper like Bhayshul Tuten slides to pick 193, you do not overthink it, and the Texans did not.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The Wohler reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Texans paired the rookies with proven help, Gervon Dexter Sr. leading the way.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in pick 39 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins is a better player than No. 66 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at slot 89 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at the 127th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in the 148th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
A straight-up fair deal on Jake Briningstool at pick No. 166, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
They barely believed it either: Bhayshul Tuten still on the board at Round 6, Pick 17. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick236 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Dante Trader Jr. at pick 236 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick241 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
This one needs a full-page explanation: Hunter Wohler in pick No. 241, miles early. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick257 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
Good price on Thomas Fidone II in Round 7, Pick 41, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
