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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Smael Mondon Jr., the 164th overall pick, roughly 56 picks past where he belonged.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 25 they get a featured back, 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 Round 2 slot, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the 89th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Somehow Andrew Mukuba was still sitting there in slot 126, and they pounced on premier safety value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick164 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the 164th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
Taking Terrance Ferguson in pick No. 241 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
