Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Monheim: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Texans were there to profit. Jonah Monheim, the No. 91 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 120. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. The Murphy reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Denzel Burke
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kenneth Grant at slot 41. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
They barely believed it either: Jack Sawyer still on the board at the 56th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88 Rnd3 Drew Allar
They let Drew Allar come to them and pounced at pick No. 88. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in the 120th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Andrew Mukuba
No drama and no debate, Andrew Mukuba went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 27. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick216 Rnd7 Shawn Murphy
They reached a country mile for Shawn Murphy at No. 216, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
