Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Mondon Jr.. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Smael Mondon Jr. got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at the 241st pick.

If Capehart pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 25 they get a true top target, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland is a better player than pick No. 58 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in the 89th overall pick, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They talked themselves into DeMonte Capehart at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
They robbed the room for Billy Bowman Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick241 Rnd7 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 7, Pick 25 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
