Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Mondon Jr. should have been long gone. The Texans pounced, and earned a B.

The Texans did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Smael Mondon Jr. fell into the 164th overall pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 25th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They robbed the room for Tyler Booker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at Round 3, Pick 25 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
The board fumbled Kevin Winston Jr. all the way to pick 126, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick164 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Circle this one: Jordan Hancock at the 241st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
