Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Texans
Overall

Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Mondon Jr.: B. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Smael Mondon Jr., slot 164, roughly 55 picks past where he belonged.
For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In pick 25 they get an every-down engine for the run game, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
The board fumbled Tyler Booker all the way to No. 57, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89
Rnd3
Darrell Jackson Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Darrell Jackson Jr. in the 89th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
They robbed the room for Kevin Winston Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick164
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
They will replay Smael Mondon Jr. at slot 164 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241
Rnd7
Terrance Ferguson
They barely believed it either: Terrance Ferguson still on the board at the Round 7 slot. It fills a real need, too.
