Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 164 lands the Texans a B, Mondon Jr. and all.

The board owed the Texans one, and it paid up: Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 108 name on the board, sitting there at No. 164 like a gift left on the doorstep. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 25 they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Tyler Booker in the 57th overall pick, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Deone Walker
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Deone Walker reach pick 89 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in slot 126 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick164 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Steal is underselling it; Miles Frazier at the 241st pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
