Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Mondon Jr.: B.

The Texans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 98 name on the board, in slot 241. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
You do not let an offensive lineman like Tyler Booker reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the 89th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
The board fumbled Dylan Fairchild all the way to the 126th pick, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164 Rnd5 Rod Moore
Rod Moore in pick 164 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick241 Rnd7 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 7, Pick 25 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
